About the Author
Brown, Fleda: - Fleda Brown's twelfth collection of poems, The End of the Clockwork Universe, was published by Carnegie Mellon University Press in 2025. Flying Through a Hole in the Storm (2021) won the Hollis Summers Poetry Prize from Ohio University Press and was an Indie finalist.

Her recent memoir is Mortality, with Friends (Wayne State University Press, an MiPA Winner and Midwest Book Award winner in memoir). She was poet laureate of Delaware from 2001-07. She lives in Traverse City, Michigan, with her husband, Jerry Beasley, not far from their lake cottage.
In 2023, 18% of the U.S. population is 65 and older. This is us, my husband and me. Way over. Many of us have considered whether we want to radically upend our lives, get rid of most of our beloved possessions, and move into a place that does many things for us. How would that be? You've given up your job, now you're contemplating giving up the rest of your previous identity and moving in with a bunch of old people. Really?
When my husband and I made this move, it was not from immediate need. It was anticipating that need. My husband's back was getting worse. We chose to make our life easier. We were asked by many friends what it was like, living in a senior retirement facility. I had no idea how life-wrenching the move would be. I started keeping a diary because I'm a writer; this is what I do.
