{"product_id":"conversations-with-may-sarton-earl-g-ingersoll-9780878055333","title":"Conversations with May Sarton","description":"With increasing candor and openness May Sarton's conversations have given an intimate view of her honest, courageous inner life. Best known to her many readers as a novelist and keeper of journals, Sarton sees herself pre-eminently as a poet. In the interviews collected here she speaks forthrightly about herself, her independence, and her writing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Although born in Belgium, Sarton is quintessentially American in her choice of solitude on which her personal well-being and writing depend. She is a modernist who has defined herself as an artist, with the occasionally painful recognition that all else must finally be subordinated to her writing. Her journal \u003ci\u003eAfter the Stroke\u003c\/i\u003e makes clear that when she cannot write she stands on the edge of the abyss of nonbeing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These interviews offer Sarton's readers the model of a woman who has supported herself as a writer of achievement, who has made her way without the comforts of academic tenure, grants, or bestseller listings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Earl G.
