May Sarton

Coming into Eighty

In this collection, May Sarton takes on the subject of herself in old age. Here are her observations and reflections both on daily events and on the larger questions of life and death, the difficulties and rewards of living alone. Her many fans will find Sarton as celebratory and fresh as ever.

"May Sarton is still teaching us how to think about the events of our lives, and how to sing about them, too."—Marge Piercy
