Confronted by an importuning mother 3,000 miles away who thinks her end is nigh-and feeling ambushed by her impending middle age-Hollis Giammatteo determines to find The Map of Aging Well, a decision that leads her on an often-comic journey.
A practicing Buddhist for over thirty years, Hollis Giammatteo has sought experiences that would challenge her practice, from teaching a method of writing to working with the elderly. She co-founded, managed and wrote plays for The Wilma Theater in Philadelphia, PA; it is thriving still. She was also a playwright in residence for the Rhode Island Feminist Theater (RIFT). This was followed by participation in a women's peace walk, On The Line, which she wrote about in a memoir of that title. She has published in a variety of magazines: Prairie Schooner, The North American Review, Ms., Calyx, Vogue, and Women's Sports and Fitness, among others. She has also been granted an NEA, awarded a residency at the Cottages at Hedgebrook, and received a PEN/Jerard Award, honoring "a distinguished nonfiction work-in-progress for an emerging woman writer," for her work On the Line: Memoir of a Peace Walk.
