In a culture that celebrates youth, CROW SONGS by Jane Ellen Glasser gives voice to life’s last chapter, acknowledging the challenges of aging but also the benefits of leisure to explore the inner life and an aesthetic of beauty that time does not diminish. She discredits the stereotypical image of elderly women, turning a phrase like “old crow” into a trope worthy of contemplation. And she defies picturing the last years as an affliction of loneliness. To Glasser being alone is to be rich in her own company after a life of being responsible for and answerable to others. Glasser does not shy away from looking death in the face to measure the vitality and importance of what years have been given and what years that are left to praise the gift of a long life.
