Jane Seskin, a licensed clinical social worker, is a prolific poet who, at age 80,

published a collection of 89 poems in the book OLDER WISER SHORTER: The

Truth and Humor of Life After 65. With humor and insight, Jane observes

how she is learning to acknowledge, accommodate, and accept the

vulnerabilities and new-found joys of aging. Early in her career as a therapist

for crime victims, Jane witnessed people’s resilience to survive. As a therapist

and writer, she advocates “talking to each other rather than being alone with

our scary thoughts.” For older women, one area of interest might be

discussions on health fantasies and fears. Jane is at work on a new book

about aging, focused on Taking Inventory: what’s past, dealing with the

present, and planning for the future. She also explores “what brings one

comfort when the sky is falling.”
