Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2023 Senior citizens publish Revere neighbor’s poetry book F ran Kalishman of Revere is a lifelong poet and writer who always dreamed of having her work published. Now her dream has come true thanks to her neighbors at Jack Satter House, a senior supportive housing complex located on Revere Beach. Her neighbors worked together to publish Fran’s 26page book of poetry and illustrations, “Wishes and Waves.” In the book Fran writes about life, love, aging and the human condition. Titles include: “The Heavens Were Crying,” “Life Is Temporary,” “My Precious Elderly-ness,” “Where Do The Seagulls Go” and “Butterfl y Wings.” Fran read from her poetry and signed copies of the book at a Book Signing held recently at Jack Satter House to celebrate the publication of “Wishes and Waves.” Fran is selling copies of her book to raise money for the Marblehead Counseling Center. About the Author: Fran writes: “I look at the sea and fi nd comfort in the waves…the steadiness, the beauty, the peace, the belief that there truly are miracles in the world. And my wishes…that humanity can come “Wishes and Waves,” a 26-page book of poetry and illustrations (Courtesy photo) together and find kindness in our hearts and our actions and spread that beautiful stuff around.” Fran dedicated the book “To my precious children who won my heart, and to all of the cherished people who have showered me with love and kindness, I am eternally grateful.” This publication effort was funded by Hebrew SeniorLife’s Power a Dream program, which allows family members and staff Poet Fran Kalishman (Courtesy photo) to nominate residents of Hebrew SeniorLife’s supportive living communities to receive the dream of a lifetime. It can be anything of personal signifi - cance: a motorcycle ride, a visit to a New England Patriots game, or, like Fran experienced, printing copies of her poetry manuscript to share her work with the community.
