I think this book went a little over my head. i loved the poetry and the concept but i think i'm not quiet at the stage of my life to really grasp the message of some of these poems. i still recommend to read it and maybe it will help you understand that growing old isn't the stereotypical idea society has made it but what you yourself choose to make it.

A fairly flat collection of poems on aging. I did like the Yiddish proverb:
Old age, to the unlearned is winter
To the learned, it is harvest time.
