Produktinformationen zu „The Poetry of May Sarton Volume One (ePub)“
Three celebrated volumes of verse from a feminist icon, poet, and author of the groundbreaking novel Mrs. Stevens Hears the Mermaids Singing.
Letters from Maine: A rugged coastline provides a stark background for Sarton's images of a tragically brief love. With vulnerability and emotional depth, she explores the willingness to devote everything to a new love, as well as the despair at the memory of what is left over when it fades.
Inner Landscape: This collection of May Sarton's poems displays her inimitable mix of stately verse and depth of feeling that lurks beneath every line, creating a tantalizing, magnetically charged distance between reader and poet.
Halfway to Silence: After decades of writing flowing lyric verse, May Sarton's style turned to short, vibrant bursts of poetry. These condensed poems are rife with exuberant impressions of nature and of love, including two of her most acclaimed works, "Old Lovers at the Ballet" and "Of the Muse."
Recognized as a true pioneer in lesbian literature, "Sarton's poems enter and illuminate every natural corner of our lives. . . . So strong in their faith and in their positive response to the human condition that they will outlast much of the fashionable, cynical poetry of our ear" (James Martin).
