The interesting thing about the Sarton pile that I bought is that they were all the old Norton paperbacks which I find so much nicer than later editions. And they had all belonged to a single owner with her name in each volume. I felt like she was passing it along to me, rather than it just being a purchase.Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-89983817356584303072009-09-12T09:57:04.020-04:002009-09-12T09:57:04.020-04:00Oh, Thomas, yes!

The most recent thing I read was a couple years ago, an audio collection called:<br /><br />May Sarton: Excerpts From a Life: Journals and Memoirs<br /><br />If you are interested, there's a poem on my blog:<br /><br />http://lettersfromahillfarm.blogspot.com/2008/07/todays-poem-by-may-sarton.html<br /><br />and a quote du jour:<br /><br />http://lettersfromahillfarm.blogspot.com/2007/02/quote-du-jourmay-sarton.html<br /><br />I don't own any of her work, and I should. I love the thought of you just picking up an unknown-to-you writer's<br />books, buying them, and loving them. The descriptions of her houses and land are so wonderful. I'm going to go order some of her books right now. I need to have them in my house. :<) Thanks for the reminder.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-44387024177607532752009-09-11T19:27:27.862-04:002009-09-11T19:27:27.862-04:00Hi Nan:

Have you read any of May Sarton's journals or novels? I discovered her for myself last summer when we took a driving trip through NY, VT, NH, and CT. This lovely used bookstore in Woodstock, VT had a whole stack of May Sarton's books and something in my head said "buy them" despite not knowing a thing about her. I particularly like her journals about life in NH and Maine. It certainly makes me want to move north.Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-60168229828664168892009-09-09T13:51:00.712-04:002009-09-09T13:51:00.712-04:00Oh, my list-loving pal!
