Synopsis "may sarton,collected poems"

Lucid, ardent, and contemplative, May Sarton is one of America's best-loved writers. This comprehensive collection - the first in twenty years - celebrates six decades of bold imagination and fifteen books of poetry, the creative output of a lifetime. Arranged chronologically, these poems reveal the full breadth of Sarton's creative vision. Themes include the search for an inward order, her passions, the natural world, self-knowledge, and, in her latest poems, the trials of old age. Moving through Sarton's work, we see her at ease in both traditional forms and free verse, finding inspiration in snow over a dark sea, a cat's footfall on the stairs, an unexpected love affair. Here is the creative process itself, its sources, demands, and joys - a handbook of the modern poetic psyche.

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.
