This exquisitely giftable anthology of poems about age and aging reveals the wisdom of trailblazing writers who found power and growth later in life.At eighty-two, the novelist Penelope Lively wrote: "Our experience is one unknown to most of humanity, over time. We are the pioneers." Coming to Age is a collection of dispatches from the great poet-pioneers who have been fortunate enough to live into their later years.
Those later years can be many things: a time of harvesting, of gathering together the various strands of the past and weaving them into a rich fabric. They can also be a new beginning, an exploration of the unknown. We speak of "growing old." And indeed, as we too often forget, aging is growing, growing into a new stage of life, one that can be a fulfillment of all that has come before.
To everything there is a season. Poetry speaks to them all. Just as we read newspapers for news of the world, we read poetry for news of ourselves. Poets, particularly those who have lived and written into old age, have much to tell us. Bringing together a range of voices both present and past, from Emily Dickinson and W. H. Auden to Louise Gluck and Li-Young Lee, Coming to Age reveals new truths, offers spiritual sustenance, and reminds us of what we already know but may have forgotten, illuminating the profound beauty and significance of commonplace moments that become more precious and radiant as we grow older.

Update: Chemical smell?
Edit: Something seems to be different with the current version. Why does "pure tallow, beeswax, and raw honey" smell (and taste!) like cheap perfume? Ick. Good luck getting that scent out of your brain. And what the heck is it? I don't know why they changed it but it unfortunately wasn't an improvement. It's too bad. It made a great foot balm. Pretty moisturizing and the size and form factor made it easy to apply. Hope it comes back the way it was.

This has great/safe ingredients. It's huge. And the company seems legit so I tried it. I've given it a go and it's okay but it seems like the proportions would need to be adjusted to be more of a balm. It's good… just a little too greasy. This feels more like I just put my tallow moisturizer on my lips instead. I get that from Fancy Farm and I guess I'm going to have to stock up on theirs if I don't find something else here that has that consistency. (And no seed oils!) Lip balm needs staying power or it just becomes a nuisance.

Finally, a non-toxic chapstick!
So I typically make my own products at home using beef tallow. But I was in dire need of chapstick, and just didn't have any time or energy to do it, so I came across this brand on Amazon and had to try. I love it! Not only is it HUGE, but it is unscented, it's glides on perfectly and my lips feel super moisturized for hours. As with all tallow products, you have to be super careful about letting this stuff sit in the heat. So if you were planning on keeping it in your purse or car, it'll definitely turn into a ooey gooey mess. I keep mine in my nightstand in an air-conditioned room, and even then it gets a bit too warm on our hot 103F Summer days. Nevertheless, I recommend to those who are looking for a non-toxic chapstick that super moisturizing.

Tried the wife’s stuff, and it’s a better tool for the job.
Husband review: The wife ordered this stuff for herself, skeptical about what’s in a lot of cosmetics. I always went straight for good ol’ Carmex; but I tried it once because I was too lazy to dig around for mine. This stuff is sometimes a better tool for the job. I service swimming pools and work outside in the sun, so I sometimes struggle with dehydration & get cracked lips occasionally. I put this on before bed, and it lasts all night so I wake up better off. It’s not medicated (what she wanted), but it’s hydrating. So while I still occasionally use Carmex at work, reapplying a few times to get damaged cracks together, I use this to maintain & finish the job overnight where the other stuff would have just evaporated within an hour. Another thing: it’s soft, where chap stick would pull on a sore/crack, this stuff goes on an into damaged places like a lubricant.
