'An honorable confession of the writer' s faults, fears, sadnesses, and disappointments. May Sarton (1912-1995) was an acclaimed poet, novelist, and memoirist. May Sarton writes with keen observation of both inner and outer worlds-a garden, the seasons, daily life in New Hampshire, books, people, ideas-and throughout everything, her spiritual and artistic journey. My need to be alone is balanced against my fear of what will happen when suddenly I enter the huge empty silence if I cannot find support there.' In this book, we are closer to the marrow than ever before in May Sarton' s writing. Her revealing insights are a moving and profound reflection on creativity, oneness with nature, and the courage it takes to be alone. There is violence there and anger never resolved. Journal of a Solitude: Sarton’s bestselling memoir chronicles a solitary year spent at the house she bought and renovated in the quiet village of Nelson, New Hampshire. That is what is strange that friends, even passionate love, are not my real life, unless there is time alone in which to explore what is happening or what has happened.' In this journal, she says, 'I hope to break through into the rough, rocky depths, to the matrix itself. 'I am here alone for the first time in weeks,' May Sarton begins this book, 'to take up my ' real' life again at last.
