Description
In her second memoir, Then and Now: Snapshots of My Life, Benita Glickman recalls and reflects upon brief and fleeting memories of her childhood, her young adulthood, her coming-of-age, and her spirituality through a collection of poems and vignettes. She meditates on the meaning and the simple pleasures of life—sharing stories, emotions, and nostalgic reminiscences—while juxtaposing images of the old with images of the new. Throughout her memoir, she weaves a golden thread of Joseph Larizza, her life partner and best friend, with whom she spent thirty-eight loving years. She sensitively and tastefully touches upon the harmony and mutual devotion they shared and how their relationship has continued in the two years since his passing. From beginning to end, Ms. Glickman maintains a reverence for life as she exhibits a unique balance of looking back and moving forward. Her poetry and prose draw you into her world and inspire you to muse about your experiences—what was, what wasn’t, and what might have been. You will smile, laugh, feel goosebumps, and cry as you reflect alongside her.
