Description

The number of seniors in our population is burgeoning and will continue to grow. Seniors are eager to tell their stories, explain their philosophies, create fictions, and vent their anger at the injustices they perceive in the nation and the world. In Senior Citizens Writing, renowned teacher and writer W. Ross Winterowd describes in his introduction how writing workshops for seniors not only provide an audience but also give them opportunities for the intellectual growth and engagement that everyone wants and needs. Included in this anthology are new poems, stories, and essays by Michelle Barany, Robert Barany, Robert “Bud” Brower, Irene Clifford, Royal L. Craig, Gerry Gooding, Vi Hinton, Mary Dickson Jenkins, Paul Sammy Larkin, Anna Pinter, and Arthur Weiland.
