The Poetry of Jane Seskin

Jane Seskin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the author of 13 books.

She has also been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

Today's poem is reprinted with permission from her latest book of poetry, “Older Wiser Shorter: The Truth and Humor of Life After 65.” Seskin’s poetry is authentic, funny, insightful, quirky, and heartfelt. A Reading Guide to the poems is also included and will inspire further reflection and discussion for book and women's groups.

This Week’s Reader Poll: In response to the April 17th reader poll regarding medical check-ups, the overwhelming majority of respondents said they are regularly at the doctor, either for yearly exams, more frequent exams, or regularly in and out of the offices of several doctors to address various medical issues. Most of you seem to acknowledge the need for regular check-ins, either for preventive, healthy aging reasons or to stay on top of current medical concerns. While a few of you responded that this is no way to have fun, nor do you enjoy “living” at the doctors, most seemed to accept the reality that at this stage in life, there’s little choice but to stay on top of your health. So, for whatever medical journey you are on, we wish you good health and all the best.
