The title of [Sarton's] luminous new verse collection alludes to its underlying theme: old age. It's a time when she has 'more of everything to care for, to maintain.' Her powers of observation have deepened: a cat's footfall on the stairs 'speaks of an eternal Now.' In a beautifully simple language shorn of all artifice, she speaks directly and with wisdom about grief, loneliness, death, coming to terms with one's life.May Sarton is the author of 'The Silence Now: New and Uncollected Early Poems', published 1990 under ISBN 9780393306354 and ISBN 0393306356.
