Dynamic duo Julie Kemp Pick and Susan Flett Swiderski compiled this broad baby, with poetic contributions from eight ole broads. Not only did I pose for the shadow on the wall, some of my poems are featured too!
Michael Di Gesu designed the front and back cover. He did a spectacular job. Consider his services when ever you need. You won't be disappointed. Michael's work prompted eight old broads to shout ecstatically, "Wow, you're really good!"
Old Broads is on sale here on Amazon!
Susan wrote this: To celebrate its release, each old broad featured in this book is
blogging about her favorite old broad today, and we invite each of you to tell
us a little something about your favorite old broad in the comments. Oh, and if
you're still offended by the term broad, I apologize. If you'd
prefer, you can tell us about your favorite older woman... how's that? Oh yeah,
and one of you who comments about your fave broad will be winning a free copy
of our book. Points will be earned for creativity, and visiting other broads' (and
Michael's) blogs. The winner will be announced next
Friday, September 12th.
Cool, huh? (It really IS a cool book... not only
is it filled with some fun poetry, but all proceeds from its sale are going to
CARE International.)
Now then, let me introduce you to the other broads, so you can
follow their blogs, too. (Like I said, they're ALL terrific.)
NOTE: Technically, Michael isn't a broad. He's a guy. A very nice
guy who used that lovely image from Francesco Romoli to create our cover for
us, so you could say, as an important member of our team, he's an honorary
broad. With hairy legs.
Thanks for helping make this a very broad
celebration!

Here's a poem about my favorite old broad.
My favorite old broad?
An easy choice pick
Someone younger than…God
And more slender than thick
Like no other ole broad
This one is all heart
With skills off-the-hook
Awesome writing and art
This stud did a job that made eight women sigh.
“Wow! You’re so good!” one by one, each did cry.
How much courage it took
To join an eight women team
Turn our poems to a book
Make real, this broad dream.
Thank you, Michael. We love you!
Michael Di Gesu
Thanks for coming through for us after the first model stormed off the set! LOVE your poem, and I can't believe how quickly you whipped it up! Though you were the youngest Old Broad, you rolled up the sleeves of your housecoat, and went right to work. You even recruited some of our finest talent. Thank you for making Old Broads so much fun, Robyn!

I love your poem and WILL have the book. Thank you one and all.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations you guys!! An excellent collection of poets. Not really old broads though - especially if that's your shadow.
ReplyDeleteWonderful poem! And wonderful Michael! The cover is so wonderful. I'm thrilled to be a part of it. And Julie, awesome shadow picture!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Wow. Wow. So much more to read and explore!
ReplyDeleteShould be an interesting read. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, all. I'm glad to have been involved. And I started getting my AARP card at 35. I think they do that intentionally - to get folks used to the term "old" before you get there. It's somewhat helpful, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteA lovely weekend to you!

Old broads. lol Hey you're only as old as you feel. OK that would make me feel 70. Nevermind. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great concept! I want to read this book! (Being an old broad myself, of course).
ReplyDeleteOld broads have more fun, right? lol awesome indeed, congrats
ReplyDeleteclever poem and I need to add Michael to my blog post. Dang - fun collection all around.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun poem, Robyn! I have a feeling the hairy-legged broad will LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all you did to help us make his book a reality.
Nice poem! Michael did a great job with that cover!
ReplyDeleteYour poem is perfect, Robyn! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for inviting me to join the old broad crew! I am thrilled to be a part of this. I feel very lucky to have been included.
Aw. Great! I am on this! You posed brilliantly, dahling!~
ReplyDeleteI want that shadow. Where can I buy one?
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Congratulations on launching what I know is a fabulous collection of poems. I hope it sells a gazillion copies.
ReplyDeleteOld broads tend to be the funniest. I bet the book will be a smashing success!
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn .. fantastic poem celebrating the old broad with hairy legs ... and the project is such a great idea - congratulations to one and all ..
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
I am soooo blushing right now! Thanks Robyn! You are tooooooo sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou ladies did an amazing job pulling this together! CONGRATS to you ALL!!!!!!!
I already posted about my favorite old broad on Susan's blog, so I'll just say congrats and that as someone who's read your poetry before, I'm looking forward to seeing what you wrote for this collection!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you all! I love that proceeds go to charity!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. You definitely deserve it. Congratulations to all of you.
ReplyDeleteWell, this is exciting stuff and you are look fabulous on the cover. Not sure I like the "old" bit as I went to high school with one of you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the book! Not sure about the old broad part as I'm getting closer to being one.
ReplyDeleteExcept for Jane Fonda, all great broads love their lines and don't give a hoot what people may think. (Besides I think I see some stuffing coming out from Jane Fonda's shoulder). I read some of the others and this is great and what a wonderful tribute to people so near and dear
ReplyDeletethat is completely awesome!!
ReplyDeleteand michael is such a talented dude!
here's to all of you sweet old broads from another!
Sounds like an interesting story!
ReplyDeleteI'f I swung that way, I'd tap that. haha
ReplyDeleteThat's great news Robyn - you so deserve it. It's a cool cover too - the shadow could be you!
We love the word Broad here, or used to. It was used a lot once upon a time.
Well done to all the broads, including Michael lol
Haha, Anthony, me too. I mean, wait a minute, I do swing that way. No I don't. I've confused myself. He IS a hot old broad, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteThank you dear peeps.
You are the best!
xoRobyn
My favourite broad is Sigourney Weaver because she could probably beat me up without too much effort and I'm in to that apparently.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all!
ReplyDeleteI will be checking this out. Thanks Robyn!
