Coming into Eighty: Poems

by May Sarton

Overview

In this collection, May Sarton takes on the subject of herself in old age.

Here are Sarton's observations and reflections, many of which came to her as if by magic during the small hours of the morning. Along with the daily events of writing a letter, appreciating her flowers, taking care of her car Pierrot, these poems wrestle with the larger questions of life and death, the difficulties and rewards of living alone.
