This Series of ten inexpensive books highlights the many ways in which writing life stories can benefit older adults and those with whom they share their stories and poems.

Series Editor Ellen Ryan (McMaster University Professor Emeritus -- Health, Aging and Society) has recruited authors and editors to cover themes including writing memoirs, poems, intergenerational stories, facilitated poem writing in long-term care, older women writing together, writing to reclaim identity in dementia, and the lessons of family caregiving. The most recent book celebrates poets from 70-103, selected from submissions from more than 300 poets.
