About
May Sarton at her evocative and contemplative best. The title poem of this entrancing collection compares love to salt for its ability both to dissolve and to crystallize "into a presence." At once philosophical and fiercely corporeal, this work presents emotion as a sensory experience. Written with Sarton's characteristic concision, these deeply felt poems will delight readers.

"May Sarton in her earlier collections of poetry, such as The Lion and the Rose and The Land of Silence, established herself as one of our most delightfully sensitive poets... 'A Celebration' [is] a lovely poem dedicated to her father, very direct and simple... This dish is worth savoring."
