A Third Collection of Poems about Aging

“Aging. Grieving. Laughing. Living. From lymphedema to local politics, from metal knees to heartfelt poems - Janet Cameron Hoult leaves no stone unturned and no topic too tender (or too ticklish) to touch. In this final collection, she blends wit, wisdom, and a whole lot of heart to celebrate a life well-lived, friendships well-loved, and causes worth fighting for. Equal parts poignant and playful, Body Works is a love letter to the messy, meaningful business of being human.”

Janet Cameron Hoult, Professor Emerita at California State University, Los Angeles, has lived and traveled all over the world. She attended high school in Iran, and universities in Lebanon, France, and the United States, with teaching assignments in Germany, Korea, Japan, Thailand, and China. Now in her eighties and widowed, Dr. Hoult lives in Southern California. Her poetry collection Body Parts: A Collection of Poems about Aging, also published by Outskirts Press, won a Reader’s Favorite Award. Proceeds from the sale of Body Language and Body Parts will go to the David Cameron Fisher Memorial Scholarship at CSULA. Proceeds from this book, Body Works, will go to the Culver City Arts Foundation.
