How does a poet, fortunate enough to be writing into his 10th decade, view almost a century of life?
With skill, compassion, irony and humor, Soliloquy at Ninety delivers unforgettable images of a life lived on two continents: from a boyhood in South Africa, through service in World War II, a successful medical career in Boston, and the experience of growing old in the 21st century.
This is a deeply thoughtful and nuanced view of human strengths and frailties; the visionary legacy of an articulate and perceptive poet, seasoned by time, and graced by transformative love and loss.
