Abstract: "Boomer Girls share a common culture, bound by their generation's political history, by pop icons like Barbie - that pedestaled Boomer Girl who's just turned forty - and by the music that's never stopped playing: Janis Joplin, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, the Ronettes, Van Morrison, Patsy Cline, John Lennon. The Boomer poets in this feisty anthology speak with diverse voices and embody a wide range of experiences, yet their generation's universal images - the hula hoops, TV shows, finned automobiles, and other household gods of their youth - unite them in ways both hilarious and tender."--BOOK JACKET.
