"We would like to acknowledge all of the offerings submitted for this publication. Though we could not include all pieces submitted, we the judges and editors were enchanted by the many memories and stories that we were privileged to share.."

---Kimberly Kinser - Poet, Writer, Amherst Artist and Writers Workshop Leader.

"The anthology by AgeSong abounds with playful poems of times well lived! It's a fine thing to read the poem stories that sing of love songs, along with hardship from people who are now in their seventies and eighties, even, nineties. The humor will delight you. You may wonder what you'll be saying at that age!"

---Janell Moon, Poet Laureate of Emeryville for 2011-2012, Author of Salt and Paper: 65 Candles

    A gem of a book

    A wonderful collection of poems and short essays about the essence of living from our elders. Those have lived long, rich lives...who are not valued enough in our society and who have much to teach us.
