Product Overview
Poems for the Older Crowd: The Terminally Mature
by James Little
About the Book
In his tribute to the older crowd, James Little’s collection of brutally honest poetry does not sugarcoat the “golden years.” Instead, Little portrays the life of a person growing older through a lens of acceptance and a peace at a life well lived. Written for the older generation, the poems are meant to provide a sense of community amongst the older crowd, reaffirming their value to society, durability to weather all they have in life, and to be proud of how far they have come.
