description: Ibby Greer’s Paper Faces, Babyboomer Memoir, is her poetic record of the past fifty years. Filled with details of person, place, and decade, this collection of "bio-poems," with abundant photographs, and the occasional portrait, sketch, and illustration, is like a family photo album. Heritage and traditions are candidly balanced with social upheaval and political change. The memories are poignant and personal, revealing humor, anger, grief, and joy. Recurrent images of games, landscapes, ship and train travel, and domestic interiors appear throughout the collection and link the experiences together through the passage of time and the maturing of the writer. Look at what poetry can bring to memory and vision.
