This book is a manifesto on the wisdom,
strength, needs and desires of older women – the rising demographic in our
country. It is also a testament to women of the previous generation, “who
have brought us safe this far.” The poems are inspired by working
the earth in Decatur, Georgia;
a love of the Southern Appalachians; the
current political situation; the experience of writing
in Italian; and the status of older women in relationship to men.
Included also are two short prose pieces – a life story in fable format
and a summary of Runyon’s work as a dancer/choreographer. The book
affirms that older women will not go gently into this goodnight, the last phase
of our lives. Louise Morgan Runyon is a
dancer/choreographer, political activist, urban farmer, student of Italian, and
former steelworker as well as poet. Please go to "Poetry" page on this site for sample poems.
