Ingersoll\u003c\/b\u003e (Editor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEarl G.
