Synopsis
With wisdom and humour, forty-one remarkable women over 50 revel in the joys of aging. Nora Ephron struck a chord with IFeel Bad about My Neck. Women's advocate and acclaimed writer Shari Graydonset out to counter the supposed downhill slide-inspired grief by inviting notable women from across Canada-all over 50-to provide an alternative perspective. I Feel Great about My Handsis a collection of stories, essays and poems embracing the changes, discoveries and wisdom that come with age. This colourful anthology includes: Gemini award-honoured funnywoman Mary Walshon playing a "big, loud, opinionated old bag" Celebrated poet Lorna Crozier's hilariously graphic My Last Erotic Poem. Val Napoleon, an adopted Gitksan member of Cree heritage applying Aboriginal trickster tales to modern attitudes about aging. Shari Graydonherself focusing her "face-half-unwrinkled" attention on the hands that have helped her nurture life and express creativity and joy. Royalties from the book will benefit Media Action, an organization dedicated to challenging the under-representation and sexualization of women in the media., With wisdom and humour, forty-one remarkable, mature women over 50 revel in the joys of aging. Nora Ephron struck a chord with I Feel Bad about My Neck. Women's advocate and acclaimed writer Shari Graydon set out to counter the supposed downhill slide-inspired grief by inviting notable women of age from across Canada -- all over 50 -- to provide an alternative perspective. I Feel Great about My Hands is a collection of stories, essays and poems celebrating life, and embracing the changes, discoveries and wisdom that come with age. This colourful anthology includes: Gemini award-honoured funnywoman Mary Walsh on playing a "big, loud, opinionated old bag" Celebrated poet Lorna Crozier's hilariously graphic "My Last Erotic Poem" Val Napoleon, an adopted Gitksan member of Cree heritage applying Aboriginal trickster tales to modern attitudes about aging gracefully Shari Graydon herself focusing her "face-half-unwrinkled" attention on the hands that have helped her nurture life and express creativity and joy Royalties from the book will benefit Media Action, an organization dedicated to challenging the under-representation and sexualization of women in the media., In our youth-obsessed world of Botox, plastic surgery and anti-wrinkle creams, Nora Ephron struck a chord with I Feel Bad about My Neck , a collection of essays that included several lamentations on the deterioration of her aging body. Women's advocate and acclaimed writer Shari Graydon set out to counter the supposed downhill slide-inspired grief by inviting notable women-all over fifty-to provide an alternative perspective. The result is a colorful anthology that pays homage to Nora Ephron but challenges the melancholy with a lively, often thoughtful, sometimes irreverent and ultimately uplifting celebration of the wonderful aspects of maturity. I Feel Great about My Hands is a collection of stories, essays and poems that showcases a diversity of voices—middle-aged, senior, straight, gay, Native, maternal, analytical, sentimental, political. But all of these women are embracing—some warmly, some perhaps grudgingly—the changes, discoveries and wisdom that come with age. From Gemini award-winning funny woman Mary Walsh's tongue-in-cheek romp about the preparation provided by years of playing a "big, loud, opinionated old bag," to celebrated poet Lorna Crozier's hilariously graphic contribution of "My Last Erotic Poem" ("Who wants to hear / about 26 years of screwing, / our once-not-unattractive flesh / now loose as unbaked pizza dough / hanging between two hands before it's tossed?"), this bold anthology captures a spectrum of viewpoints that nonetheless evoke a universal understanding of the triumphs that come only with years of accumulated experience. Royalties of the book will benefit Media Action, an organization dedicated to challenging the underrepresentation, stereotyping and sexual objectification of women in the media.

- c***r (558)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoMost importantly, the book condition was as specified. Many thanks for that. Also, the book was delivered promptly from the USA to the UK. Also, the price was reasonable for an out-of-print book. However, one point of constructive criticism: the packaging could have been much better, in order to better protect the book in transit. The book was sent in a bubble-wrap mailer only, with no cardboard to give the package greater strength. Thank you very much for any consideration of my feedback.
- 3***6 (128)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThe mail service absolutely ravaged the top binding corner of the book, which really was a disappointment. It’s not your fault as a seller, but please consider that a book in a snug envelope is very unsafe rather than a slightly larger envelope of the same strength. It’s not going to affect your rating. I will say nothing. But please consider this in the future- Post is treated poorly and customer service is poor with mail, so it’s necessary to ship properly, especially if you sell books. :)Pistis Sophia: The Gnostic Tradition of Mary Magdalene, Jesus, and His Disciples (N° 116542842875)
