Halfway to Silence - Softcover
Pure lyric poems come rarely in any poet's life. When they do, the must be treasured as gifts from the White Goddess, "sister of the mirage and echo." To May Sarton, poetry was life's deepest creative passion. It reflected the preoccupations of her mind and emotions as she progressed through more than five decades of experiencing the natural world, love and friendship, and the crises of the times. But for a long while she felt the lyric mood was past. Then, abruptly, her life took a new turn, and a marvelously musical flow of short poems came from her pen. They are collected here, in this small volume.

Pure lyric poems come rarely in any poet's life. When they do, they must be treasured as gifts from the White Goddess, 'sister of the mirage and echo.'
