The collection of poetry “Poems for Women of a Certain Age” celebrates the time we enter after having passed the threshold of our “last blood.” They provide inspiration and guidance on how to chart a rich path into what Felicitas Kusch-Lango calls radiant “cronehood.” A time of insight, contemplation, humor, and pleasure, but also a time when we have to meet loss, the vulnerability of old age, and the inevitability of our mortality. Cultivating a curious mind, a courageous heart, a deep love for our body, and a rich spirituality will allow us to let the wild, wise, and elegant elder emerge and embrace this phase of our lives with open arms.
The poems show a deep appreciation for how our feminine essence enriches all stages of life, but particularly this last. In language that is light-filled and steeped with meaning, they ask us to unapologetically shine as proud women of a certain age.
Read it for your own good and gift it to all your women friends “of a certain age.”
