DIVERSITY
GREETING CARD VERSES FOR NONTRADITIONAL
SITUATIONS & RELATIONSHIPS

Picture

What do you say in response to a friend’s coming out announcement? Or when someone you care about marries a person of a different race or generation? Or when you’re invited to attend a same-sex marriage? Or to newly located biological relatives? Or to support the lifestyle transition of a transgender relative? Or to be supportive of someone whose religious beliefs differ from yours? Or when a friend or relative is diagnosed with a life-threatening or terminal illness? 

Ideally suited for blank cards, these verses address ONLY nontraditional or uncommon situations and relationships--those that are exceptions to the mainstream. They help you bridge differences in age; race; personality style; politics; religion; sexual orientation; social context; and more.  When you want to acknowledge and respect the uniqueness of the occasion or person, this book offers hundreds of appropriate sentiments!

POETRY
NO ONE EVER TOLD ME: POEMS FOR PEOPLE OVER FIFTY

Picture
Marilyn Haight’s free-verse poetry lays bare the unspoken thoughts and emotions we experience as we grow older. While some of her poems are humorous, all deal with serious subjects, such as living in an aging body; dealing with ongoing loss; and looking toward a future that’s shorter than the past. These poems can make you laugh, or give you permission to cry about things that change our later lives in ways that make us feel happy and sad, connected and lonely, complete and unfinished--conflicting emotions that reside in our being, whether or not we want them. Her use of everyday language is deceiving in that the whole of each poem is greater than the sum of its parts, guiding you to an unexpected place.

Professional Review:
"Time to read poetry that William Carlos Williams would have said was for the people on back streets & country roads , in urban high rises & gated communities. Here are poems that deal with the issues that face us all, whether we reside in Sun City, Paterson, Mankato, Temecula, or  Meridian. These poems, their front doors and windows left open like Edward Hopper paintings, reveal elements of the human condition, regardless of our age, regardless of how we pay the bills, regardless of how we spend our weekends, regardless of  whether we believe in politics or religion. You know the people who live in these exceptional poems by Marilyn Haight."
