For our latest Wising Up Anthology, forty-eight writers of memoir, poetry, and short fiction join us in exploring how aging and mortality can intensify our appreciation of our present (and past) in ways we never anticipated. For age is a strange place—filled with abundance and scarcity, more fixed and more fluid than we imagined before we arrived there. Our bodies teach us it is now or never. The arc of our life bends relentlessly earthward.
But our hearts won’t stop growing, expanding, revising, and revisioning—and we need to acknowledge that as well. Here the surprising questions are often positive. Has the love, the good, both momentous and minute, we have experienced in our lives gone fully recognized, born fruit, multiplied? Savoring can, as we see here, become a call, a necessary rebalancing of the scales.
