When We Very Very Old
Erica Swadley
Erica Swadley says, "As long as there's life, there's poetry."
Erica Swadley was inspired by her favorite children's book When We Were Very Young by A.A. Milne. She writes with just the right mix of playfulness and ecstasy. Her poems address the adventure of aging with humor, compassion and tenderness. As the author spends couch potato time recovering from various joint implants, she explores topics some people would rather not look at such as loneliness and invisibility. She also makes clear that the elderly remain passionate, sensuous and engaged with life. Erica Swadley as a poet, painter and shamanic practitioner writes poetry that helps fill the empty spaces inside you. She is what in some cultures is known as a word-doctor, receiving information from the dream world and ineffable sources acting as a vessel to let messages pour through.
