May SartonThe Silence NowNew and Uncollected Early Poems"The title of [Sarton's] luminous new verse collection alludes to its underlying theme: old age. It's a time when she has 'more of everything to care for, to maintain.' Her powers of observation have deepened: a cat's footfall on the stairs 'speaks of an eternal Now.' In a beautifully simple language shorn of all artifice, she speaks directly and with wisdom about grief, lonliness, death, coming to terms with one's life."—Publishers Weekly "Her complex ideas are born into verse with the easy, simple beauty that is typical of her stunning lyric style."—Boston Globe
