About this title

Synopsis

SENIOR CITIZENS WRITING II continues the tradition of the first volume with new examples of seniors citizens writing from the unique and succesful workshops facilitated by W.. Ross Winterowd. In this new collection, readers will find memoirs, short stories and poems from eleven authors, ranging in age from 63 to 87, U.S. born as well as immigrant. This collection preserves a rich tapestry of American colloquial and immigrant interest. These 46 selections show the success of the seniors workshop format, which stimulates seniors to express their feelings and tell their unique stories with grace and eloquence. The editor of this volume, Bill Reid, was himself a workshop participant. Winterowd provides an informative introduction, his own vegetable poem, and insightful headnotes to each authors' work. Contributors include Eddie Hasson, Mary Ann Huisken, Paul (Sammy) Larkin, Marjory Bong-Ray Liu, Kathy Recupero, William (Bill) Reid, Joanne Simpson, Marie Thompson, Phan Vū, Edna Wooley, and Richard Wrate.
