Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets Takoma welcomes Wendy Miller to present the new book "Sky Above Clouds: Finding Our Way Through Creativity, Aging, and Illness."
Miller is co-founder of the Create Therapy Institute, an integrative arts medicine studio, and the executive director of projects on intergenerational communication at the Washington Center on Aging. Co-written with her husband, Gene D. Cohen, who was Director of the Center on Aging, Health & Humanities at George Washington University, Miller’s book lays out a new paradigm for aging, showing how the later stages of life can be a period of resilience and creativity. Grounded in scientific research and clinical practice, these theories are borne out in the authors’ own experience as their family struggled with illness and loss, yet found new ways to grow.
