This exquisitely giftable anthology of poems about age and aging reveals the wisdom of trailblazing writers who found power and growth later in life.At eighty-two, the novelist Penelope Lively wrote: "Our experience is one unknown to most of humanity, over time. We are the pioneers." Coming to Age is a collection of dispatches from the great poet-pioneers who have been fortunate enough to live into their later years.
Those later years can be many things: a time of harvesting, of gathering together the various strands of the past and weaving them into a rich fabric. They can also be a new beginning, an exploration of the unknown. We speak of "growing old." And indeed, as we too often forget, aging is growing, growing into a new stage of life, one that can be a fulfillment of all that has come before.
To everything there is a season. Poetry speaks to them all. Just as we read newspapers for news of the world, we read poetry for news of ourselves. Poets, particularly those who have lived and written into old age, have much to tell us. Bringing together a range of voices both present and past, from Emily Dickinson and W. H. Auden to Louise Gluck and Li-Young Lee, Coming to Age reveals new truths, offers spiritual sustenance, and reminds us of what we already know but may have forgotten, illuminating the profound beauty and significance of commonplace moments that become more precious and radiant as we grow older.

Gentle, yet very effective
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've used multiple exfoliating toners in the past but none were as effective as this one. I have been using it for 3 days now along with the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming cleanser and it's cleared the whiteheads on my chin quite a bit and made my face feel and look smooth. Will continue to repurchase.

Finally Something That Works For Me
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Imma be honest - I haven’t had great skin for over 30 years. I feel like like there’s always :something: that makes me resort to only being comfortable wearing make-up any day I have to see people / leave the house. But, I started using Thayers in October 2025 (I created my own “Thayers system”: salicylic toner, salicylic pads, and - at times - the stuff in the little dropper bottle) and I can honestly say that :finally: something is working for my skin!
I have tried everything! But Thayers is it for me these days. Thank you!!

Great product with unexpected results and skincare benefits
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)
I have been reading about Micellar water products for a couple of years, and finally purchased these wipes to try. I am currently working very long hours and the selling point for these wipes was that they weren't soap-based, and didn't require a toner after using. I keep them on my night stand and take my makeup off with them prior to going to bed. (I do not use them for removing mascara - I use another product for that.)
The biggest point I want to share is that I have been using these wipes exclusively for makeup removal for a little more than two weeks. I have had a stubborn blackhead on my nose for a good 20 years that wouldn't budge, no matter how often I used exfoliating products, and I've invested a lot of money in high end exfoliators in an attempt to make that spot go away. It has grown larger over the years, and was a skincare peeve of mine. I noticed a couple of days ago that that blackhead is beginning to break down and get smaller. I thought at first that I was imagining it, but that blackhead is honestly a good two-thirds gone. This is just from using these wipes! I would never have predicted that something this simple and quite soft and insubstantial as a disposable face wipe would have such effective results for blackhead breakdown, but they're doing the trick. I have noticed smaller blackheads on my chin area are also melting away. I predict that in another few weeks of use, my skin is going to be as close to blackhead-free as it is humanly possible to achieve. (For the record, I don't have a lot of blackheads - just a handful that have taken up residence over the years and refused to budge, getting larger with age.)
These are safe for my sensitive skin, and have exfoliating benefits that I wouldn't ever have expected or predicted. Full disclosure: I do spend a good 3-5 minutes using a single wipe on my face, neck, and décolletage, scrubbing with the nubby side (there is a nubby, exfoliating side, and smooth side to each wipe) and using the whole cloth in sections until I have used it all. Finally, I also use it on the tops of my hands. I definitely get my money's worth out of each wipe! I wholeheartedly encourage people to try this product. I now have it on Auto-Ship status, as I don't want to ever be without these wipes in my skincare arsenal.

Cool and moist
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 2)
I had to get away from scented products and this one was cleared by my ACDS app. It is small, not resealable, but easy to use, and cleans well, the wipes are sturdy, and just wet enough to clean without needing extra drying. These are travel size and have to be kept in a zip lock after opening.
