Book synopsis

In "May Sarton: Selected Letters, 1955-1995", two hundred annotated letters chronicle the mature life of this poet and novelist. A friend to Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bowen and Marianne Moore, May Sarton was a commanding presence, a figure whose strong personality undoubtedly informed her work. As writer, traveller, friend and lover, Sarton corresponded with an array of actors, artists, teachers, admirers and members of the clergy. While recording the joys and griefs of her craft and her heart, Sarton engaged with major public issues of the last half-century. The volume intends to shed new light on her breakthrough novel, "Mrs Stevens Hears the Mermaids Singing" and on her "Journal of a Solitude".
