Selected Poems of May Sarton

The comprehensive collection detailing the career of a twentieth-century master In her prolific six-decade career, May Sarton was as at home crafting a novel as she was writing a memoir. However, it was in poetry that Sarton?s feelings were laid bare. She was a writer of immense creativity and strength, and created a back catalog of poetry that could rival those of any of her contemporaries. ? In Selected Poems of May Sarton, a collection from her first forty years of writing, many of the author?s classic themes are on display: There are her meditations on solitude, featuring the breathtaking ?Gestalt at Sixty?; there is her beautifully written tribute to literature in ?My Sisters, O My Sisters?; and there is a rumination on affairs of the heart in an excerpt from the sonnet collection ?A Divorce of Lovers.? ? Sarton was a true literary force, with the ability to speak to readers of all genders, persuasions, and ages, and Selected Poems of May Sarton demonstrates that power perfectly.
