Halfway to Silence

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.
