Synopsis "halfway to silence,new poems"

When they do, the must be treasured as gifts from the White Goddess, sister of the mirage and echo. To May Sarton, poetry was life's deepest creative passion. It reflected the preoccupations of her mind and emotions as she progressed through more than five decades of experiencing the natural world, love and friendship, and the crises of the times. But for a long while she felt the lyric mood was past. Then, abruptly, her life took a new turn, and a marvelously musical flow of short poems came from her pen. They are collected here, in this small volume.

Eleanore Marie Sarton (Wondelgem, Bélgica, 1912–York, Estados Unidos, 1995). Poeta, memorialista y escritora, nació en Bélgica de padre belga-estadounidense y madre inglesa; la familia dejó Bélgica después del asesinato del archiduque Francisco Fernando. Autora muy prolífica, escribió poesía, novelas, libros infantiles y una obra de teatro, aunque su gran aportación literaria fueron sin duda sus diarios y memorias. Cosmopolita y políticamente comprometida, los temas que recorren sus obras son la amistad, las relaciones, el envejecimiento, la soledad y los derechos de la mujer.
