Crow's Feet: Life As We Age - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This collection of original essays and poems features thirty writers who explore their own fears of aging and how they came to embrace the freedom of their final decades. Posing nude, having a boyfriend at 80, or riding horseback through the mountains inspire some of these writers, while others are content to plant fresh flowers, hug their grandchildren and enjoy the gift of time. Staying active and healthy is an important theme woven through the book. From a poem that exposes the destructive power of ageism to an essay full of joy for being older and wiser, readers will be inspired to re-think their own plans for the second half of life. If you are thinking about how you're going to navigate through your 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond, you will find a companion in the pages of this book with pieces by award-winning writer Julia E. Hubbel, British writer Ann Saddler, humorist Roz Warren and author Beth Bruno. The volume features the best stories in Crow’s Feet: Life As We Age, a publication on Medium. It is edited by Nancy Peckenham, the founder of Crow’s Feet and a former CNN executive producer, documentary filmmaker and local news reporter who enjoys shaking up old ideas about what it means to grow old.
