“Thou Hast Thy Music Too”: The Poetry of Aging

Every life stage offers unique challenges and possibilities and, as Keats wrote in “To Autumn,” its particular music. Aging brings its dilemmas: accentuation of losses, bodily and mental impairments, diminishing time. These same challenges are grist for new perspectives, wisdom, and awareness of the temporal and the enduring. In this panel, four poets (of a certain age) will speak to different aspects of aging as a stage of life lived in and with poetry. A younger poet will also reflect on age.
