Lucid, brilliant, astoundingly original.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Selected Poems of May Sarton (Paperback)
Lucid, brilliant, astoundingly original, May Sarton is a rare treasure among modern poets. A master of technical form, she never veers from the idea that poetry is for the revelation of individual insights gleaned from often painful experiences. Her uniqueness among the moderns lies in her understanding of the importance of the discipline imposed by traditional form as an instrument of clarity. She is among the very best.
