| "There is much I still hope to do," concludes then 75-year-old Sarton in After the Stroke: A Journal. The remarkably long career of poet/novelist Sarton, born in Belgium in 1912, is well represented in this anthology. With introductory essays by Daziel and Constance Hunting, this book offers selections from 13 of her books of poetry (written from 1930 to 1988), eight autobiographical writings, and a brief excerpt from the novel A Reckoning ( LJ 9/1/78). The novella As We Are Now (8/73) about a former teacher s painful confinement in a nursing home, is printed in its entirety. Concerned with healing and solitude, Sarton s prolific work is rooted in a New England tradition of self-analysis and community values. The unadorned prose of her journals, written even after a mastectomy and recovery from a stroke, presents this compassionate survivor, 79 years old at the publication of this work, at her best. |
