HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? Poems for the Not So Young Anymore

This audiobook unfolds the personal realities of women who are aging. With humor, wittiness, and sarcasm, the various female and male writers target a population of women who are 40-plus. The introduction, narrated by Erin Bennett, quotes women artists of diverse backgrounds. Although aging can be a dismal topic, Bennett piques one's curiosity with her tone of honesty and hopefulness. Throughout the audiobook the changing voices represent the multiple authors, but there is a constant feeling of unity nonetheless. Dan Woren's narrations pop in and out of the women voices. It seems jarring at first, given the female-centered poems. However, his voice is a reminder that we ALL age and can experience this journey in relatable ways.
