Writings on writing

Description:

From the back cover: From the first, MAY SARTON has been passionately committed to her art, and thus to her craft, of writing. Poet, novelist, essayist, she has through all her books taken the risks of responsibility: to poetry, to prose, to herself as an instrument. As actress, she reads and lectures superbly to ever-increasing audiences; as gardener, she nurtures the beginning writer; as world traveller, she opens new landscapes to her companions on her literary odyssey. Now MAY SARTON has gathered her WRITINGS ON WRITING into this volume for readers and writers who have long been awaiting such an invaluable gift. With rare insight and warm honesty she shares her unique knowledge of her craft and art.
