"One Should Be Twenty Again" is one of the most successful hits of the 1950s. But why is that? Active seniors are increasingly discovering the positive aspects of life after the stress of work and are looking at the whole machinery with much more calmness. Eberhard Scholing has collected poems that resonate with this phase of life, both serious and cheerful, wise and optimistic. Because age alone is never a reason to look at the future with gloom or worry. Featuring poems by Eugen Roth, Erich Kästner, Mascha Kaléko, Peter Härtling, Günter Grass, Wilhelm Busch, Robert Gernhardt, and many others.
