These poems immediately transported me back to my adolescence and young adulthood. It is a marvelous collection of poetry by a diverse group of women. The poems cover childhood, coming-of-age, and beyond. This is a book I will read over and over.

Even if you don't think you like poetry, you will like this one (especially if you're a Baby Boomer). I've used several of these poems as writing prompt when giving workshops too. Absollutely love it!

3 1/2 Stars. While there weren't a lot of standout pieces in this anthology for me, I appreciated the cumulative effect of the poems. Together they created a satisfyingly broad reflection on womanhood and a thought-provoking portrait of growing up in the Baby Boom Generation.
