The debut work of a literary legend May Sartonâs career spanned sixty years and included novels, poetry, memoirs, and even childrenâs books, but it was poetry that provided the worldâs first look at her wondrous talent. Encounter in April is a fitting starting point for readers wishing to familiarize themselves with one of the twentieth centuryâs most lyrical and eloquent authors. In this anthology, Sarton describes womanhood devastatingly and unforgettably, deftly matching serene imagery with powerful emotion. Her sonnets are to be savored. Encounter in April is a thesis statement for a lengthy and profound career, and Sartonâs talent is readily evident from the beginning.
