A bold, collective portrait of the sustaining force of art while aging
Nick of Time celebrates the artistic community of the Twin Cities and the wisdom that comes with age. Bringing together the voices of women creatives over the age of sixty-five, this collection is as varied as the artists' vocations, spanning from narrative prose to poetry, essay, monologue, letters, historical reflection, and more. As the contributors examine their lived experiences, hopes and regrets, joy and grief while traversing their last decades of life, they serve as a guiding beacon for others navigating the intersection of creativity and aging--as well as a ballast against its inevitable challenges. They write with refreshing honesty about feeling invisible in older age, receiving late recognition, or being dismissed as hair turns gray and wrinkles appear. Their openness provides strength and support for us all.
A beautiful collection of pieces from established and emerging writers, painters, singers, photographers, musicians, playwrights, dancers, sculptors, and beyond, Nick of Time traces the contours of both the commonalities and the differences that can be found in the creative life of an aging artist. This generous book is a provocative meditation on finding power in age, demonstrating that creativity is an integral part of a full life as well as a lifelong pursuit.
