Balance Exercises: Poems on Aging and Diminishment
Maintaining physical balance is extremely important to elderly persons in order to prevent falls and serious injuries. Emotional and psychological balance is equally important. In this thoughtful and insightful collection of poems, Robert Hamblin employs three popular balance exercises as metaphors for the challenges of growing older. “Head Rotations” presents thoughts and reflections on aging, loss, and grief. “Over-the-Shoulder Walks” looks backward to capture memories of the past. And “Standing Marches” offers strategies for coping with the diminishment that accompanies the declining years.
