An in-depth conversation with Wellington-based writer Rachel McAlpine. Rachel, 80, talks aging and getting old and fighting against it as well as going with it. She talks about and reads from her brand new poetry collection, How To Be Old and discusses her writing history back to her 1975 debut poetry volume and her time writing books about the internet and web-writing in the 90s/00s.
