Evening Twilight: A Woman's Village Journal, 2007-2011: A Woman's Village Journal, 2007-2011 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781469172057)

This book is the third volume of journal selections (2007-2011). Volume I included an Introduction and some biographical memories. As with the previous two volumes, the major events of life claim little diaristic attention, the overlooked or insignificant habitually capturing the author's attention. Most journals or notebooks of eminent writers conclude with their relative youth, when they pick up the pen to create an imaginative retrospective journey, so there is little available of aging journal-keepers describing the downward journey. Those who maintained journals intime, or other forms of introspective writing, were rarely long lived, so there is little available of the aging journal-keeper describing the downward journey. Added to this is the paucity of proximal contemporaries who share or admit to the narrowing path, seeking instead the rejuvenations of youth. "I unavoidably focus on the early twilight of this narrowing journey, lead me where it shall." Those interested in a more event-filled diary will find scant reportage in these pages.
