Kingston Writersfest is pleased to present ....."In Praise of Older Women": three thoughtful (and youthful) writers discussing women, aging, and the creative impulse.

Lorna Crozier’s new collection of poems, Small Mechanics, explores the failing mechanics of the body as it ages, the fine–tuning of what a life becomes when parents and old friends pass. Molly Peacock’s The Paper Garden is a superbly personal biography of Mrs. Delany, who began her life’s work—the invention of collage—at the age of 72. Merrily Weisbord’s The Love Queen of Malabar traces the bloom of friendship through the final decade in the life of India’s great poet, Kamala Das.

Moderated by Merilyn Simonds.

General Admission: $12.50/$16.00 at the door.
