In May Sarton: Selected Letters, 1955-1995 two hundred annotated letters chronicle the mature life of a legendary poet and novelist. A friend to Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bowen, Madeleine L'Engle, and Marianne Moore, May Sarton was a commanding presence, a figure somehow larger than life whose personality undoubtedly informed her work. As writer, traveler, friend, and lover, Sarton corresponded with an array of actors, artists, teachers, admirers, and clergy. While recording the joys and griefs of her craft and her heart, Sarton engaged with major public issues of the last half-century. May Sarton: Selected Letters sheds new light on her breakthrough novel, Mrs. Stevens Hears the Mermaids Singing, and on her revolutionary Journal of a Solitude. There are echoes as well of the lyric poetry that Sarton brought alive in dynamic readings to audiences across America. In this volume, the capstone of her literary legacy, Sarton characteristically speaks to each reader as a friend. 16 pages of b/w photographs. AnnotationThese 200+ letters, written between 1955 and 1995, depict May Sarton when she was beginning to write and publish her journals, and when her first successful novel, MRS. STEVENS HEARS THE MERMAIDS SINGING, was published.
