New Body Language Takes the Sting out of Aging … Through Laughter

CULVER CITY, Calif. - April 17, 2015 - PRLog -- While some may fail to see the humor in aging, author Janet Cameron Hoult is laughing all the way to her second humorous collection on the topic. Her new collection, Body Language: Another Collection of Poems About Aging, her followup to Body Parts, finds a chuckle in every crack of the knuckle. Both volumes are published by Outskirts Press.

It’s hard to find any humor in the inevitable aging process: multiplying wrinkles, worn-out knees, fruitlessly counting calories, colonoscopies, and all the aches and pains in between. These all-too-human situations form the (creaky) backbone of Body Language, Hoult’s hilarious collection of poems lamenting the infirmities of advanced age. Hoult’s cheeky poetry delves into topics anyone of a certain vintage can relate to:

the mind
hearing
failing sight
vertigo
weight issues
sagging skin
and much more.

Everyone can relate to the frustration of aging body parts, but by poking fun at themselves, readers can handle whatever life throws their way. So read, enjoy … and laugh! And remember, “Though our bodies do not function / As they did when we sought action / With pills and exercise each day / We hope that we will be OK …”

Body Language is available online through Outskirts Press at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
