Overview

Tom Greening's poetry takes on the phenomenon and complexity of aging and of being an elder with uncanny depth, wit and his trademark existential humor-befitting his fifty-year career as an existential psychotherapist. Doing away with any lightness and political correctness, these poems will not only make you smile but they will help you face a topic most of us would rather not contemplate: our mortality. Nader Shabahangi, PhD President, Existential-Humanistic Institute CEO, AGeSong & Eldercare Provider Tom Greening deals creatively with life review, fear of dying, dementia, loss, and the comforts possible in older age. He accomplishes all this with his persistent wit, unique rhyme schemes, and novel imagery. With its honesty, candor, and humor, this book deserves to be read widely.
