Where you between Betty Crocker and Gloria Steinem? With that question in mind poets Pamela Gemin and Paula Sergi began collecting the poems in Boomer Girls, an anthology of coming-of-age poems written by women born between 1945 and 1964, give or take a few years on either side. The answers to that question till this volume with the energy, passion, heartbreak, and giddiness of women's lives from childhood to adolescence to middle age. The poems in Boomer Girls are by unknown, emerging, and established writers, women who participated in the second wave of feminism. From Sandra Cisneros' "My Wicked Wicked Ways" to Barbara Crooker's "Nearing Menopause, I Run into Elvis at Shoprite, " from Wendy Mnookin's "Polio Summer" to Kyoko Mori's "Barbie Says Math Is Hard, " these poems call for us to celebrate (in the words of poet Diane Seuss-Brakeman) "glances, romances, beauty and guilt, regret, remorse, rebates and rejuvenations." Boomer Girls share a common culture, bound by their generation's political history by pop icons like Barbie -- that pedestaled Boomer Girl who's just turned forty -- and by the music that's never stopped playing: Janis Joplin, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, the Ronettes, Van Morrison, Patsy Cline, John Lennon. The Boomer poets in this feisty anthology speak with diverse voices and embody a wide range of experiences, yet their generation's universal images -- the hula hoops, TV shows, tinned auto-mobiles, and other household gods of their youth -- unite them in ways both hilarious and tender.

After a multi-faceted career, M.L. (Mike) VanBlaricum has turned his attention to writing poetry and musing on his life as a Baby Boomer. The author is a prototypical Boomer. He was born in 1950 and went off to college to study engineering in the explosive year of 1968. He grew up in small towns in Illinois where he developed a fascination with science, the trombone, nature, and girls. This collection of poems, essays, and musings includes memories and reflections of being a free-range child in the Fifties, a restrained teenager in the Sixties, a college student in the Seventies, and a rambunctious retiree in the Tens. VanBlaricum's accessible writings are laced with wry humor, musical references, and surprise endings. The subject matter ranges from lost loves, the importance of puppy love to the wonderment of real love, what it means to be a Baby Boomer, teenage angst, ruminations on kite-flying and teeter-totters, a fascination with clouds, toads, and moons, and observations and sideways ponderings on natural phenomena. The internal dialogue between engineer and poet bookends this collection.

A compilation of essays, poems and letters written over the last few decades and woven together in a narrative that tells the story of a baby boomer's lifetime. This book was written as a labor of love, detailing a wonderful journey through our often tumultuous times. The book begins with some family historical backround and continues along the march of time from the 'wild eyed wonder' of youth, 'coming of age', in the 70's and 80's, living the 'American dream', family life, 'loss and sorrows', 'love and romance', all the way to the present day perspective of a life lived well and full. The book reflects one man's values and details how they came to be, and where they have led him. In it, I hope others can find moments, emotions and memories with which to identify along with perhaps an understanding that there has always been much more to our lives than meets the eye. The book, for the greater part, is a-political, focusing instead on cultural and family life from the 1960's through the present day, all with hints of a private, but obvious foundation in faith and optimism. The essays, poems and letters all draw upon lessons learned, some the hard way, from parents, neighbors, friends and most of all experience. Some family photos are included, both as an illustration of the times and themes, and the author's personal story. The author grew up in what was then, the small Massachusetts town of Franklin, then settled in the 'Quiet Corner' of Northeastern Connecticut to raise his own family. He lived in each for roughly thirty years, and this is a story of those times, places and the people who rode along on the journey. As the middle child of nine siblings, children of a high school English teacher, and a deeply thoughtful, if somewhat beleaguered home-maker, the 'gift of gab', seemed a natural birthright. Life in the 1960's and 70's in that small bedroom community had a most significant impact. Ours is a very different world today, from the one we all grew up in, some truths do remain, others no doubt, are sorely missed. The importance and influence of those 'small town' values, from a different time in America, extended through into the development of the author's life as a father himself, and to the lives of his children in another small town in Connecticut. The world certainly has changed, but many of the ideals and principles have survived. These writings are the product of a 'Life of Contemplation', a consideration of perhaps a grander scheme to things, and at the very least a tale of wonderful adventure that drives home the point offered to the author at ten years old by his father, that we can indeed, "Choose to be happy, regardless of the circumstances". That advice has been my mantra, and my hope is that others can read that in these writings, and hopefully find some truth of it, in their own lives.

What a gift life is! It comes ready to open every morning. Each day is totally unique. Each day can be a new adventure. It can be a source of joy, or of sorrow. It all depends on how we approach it. The secret to joyful living is learning to look at life through the eyes of a small child. As a bona fide baby boomer, I have lived a life filled with many joys and some regrets. Today I choose to live life in joy and with a sense of childlike wonderment. This book is a reflection on how to recapture the sense of wonder and joy we were born with. This book is a collection of thoughts, ramblings, and experiences about our special gift of life. Baby Boomer Ramblings offers my thoughts, observations and suggestions, on living life in a more positive and happier way. All of this is wrapped around a poem, or more correctly, a poem wrapped around life's gifts. Personally, I prefer to live life as a poem. Poetry adds magic to life. It's the mind's and heart's way of expressing one's inner voice. That is what this book does. Unlike a textbook of life that one reads and studies, poetry is recited by one's mind and speaks to one's heart and spirit. At the minimum, this book offers some food for thought on how to live in the moment. Learn how to live life with a sense of awe and childlike glee. As a baby boomer who has experienced around two-thirds of my life, I'm finally at that stage where I've finally got it. Read this book and discover how to have contentment and laughter. Become a childlike poet of life and be forever young!

Baby Boomers experienced a world growing up that is very different from the one we live in today. Some say it's better, and some say it's worse. We can all agree it's very different. These are humor columns about being a Baby Boomer. Baby Boomers came of age in a time when there were water fountains instead of hydration stations. Our childhood was filled with playing outside. When we were forced to stay inside it was tantamount to being punished. We spoke to people in person and understood body language. There was no cyber world. We all had to learn how to deal with reality. There were no computer games. There were pick-up sports based on who had a baseball, football, basketball or other sports equipment. Playing a game depended on if the sports equipment owners were willing to share. Card games were played with real cards. We camped out without adults, went on bike hikes, swam in creeks and more. Now we're middle age or older. Our bodies are changing, and the world around us continues to make less and less sense. This book is about the many common things experienced by Baby Boomers. Just like the song from the group "The Who", I'm "Talkin' 'bout my generation.

Gary Johnson is a baby boomer, and over his lifetime he sporadically wrote poems as time and events allowed him. The result is this collection "enter light - exit light and everything in between." A Boomer's Live in Poems shadows the evolution of a young man's focus on lust and love, to events, finding love again in mid-life, and examining life and death in later years. It reflects what most men go through but don't necessarily articulate - the shallowness and superficiality of young men to the deeper experienced thoughts of an older man. "what more can be said we have spent our lives"
