Grandfather's Mandolin is a beautiful new book of poems from Fran Markover where "family and friends prevail and share their truths, stories, songs." Read a sample here.

"Each decade as we age is distinct. We’re filled with clichés, we’re filled with flat phrases, we could list all the ways used to describe older people. Poets and writers want to find language and tell the story of aging in a way that’s both truthful and new, revelatory." Read the interview with editor Kendra Kopelke in Prime Time Living, a special edition of the Baltimore Sun.
