	May Sarton
		Margot Peters had full access to May Sarton's letters, journals, and notes while she researched and wrote this biography, and the result is a book that charts Sarton's personal life as it explores her work as a poet, novelist, and feminist.
		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.
		She fears her openness about her love for women may have cost her some of that critical acclaim, but knows it is that very openness about her emotional life-its highs and lows-that gives her readers hope and encouragement.

	A "dangerous game of change": images of desire in the love poems of May Swenson Twentieth Century Literature - Find ...
		The difficulty of reconciling these characteristics of May Swenson's poetry is reflected in the relative scarcity of critical work that explores her use of erotic imagery while giving voice to her lesbianism; in a poststructuralist climate currently rife with interrogations of sexuality and subjectivity, this absence is a noticeable one.(1) While the "beautifully...
		A lover of riddles, Swenson allows no easy answers: her careful constructions of oppositional desires seem incongruous with the polymorphous sensuality for which her work is known, and imparting her lesbianism into the picture seems only to complicate the puzzle.
		Conflations of author and text, or representation and reality, are confounded by Swenson, for if language is representative of an ontological or authorial reality, then a critical reconciliation, or mere recognition, of Swenson's use of ostensibly heterosexual imagery and her own sexual orientation as a lesbian is rendered problematic.

		May, who was one of Americas most original and innovative poets, earned her position in American poetry by sheer talent and determination.
		But in spite of Mays talent, hard-work and ambition, gaining recognition as a poet as a single woman in New York City in the forties, and far from the academic world, was anything but easy, and her early efforts went unrecognized in the poetry world.
		In the little room of May Swensons mind, an uncountable number of poems were conceived and written; she published 11 volumes of poetry during her lifetime and another four were published after her death.

		Throughout this collection of poems by an unusually gifted writer who is now largely overlooked, we are offered the precise thoughts of a poet who not only observed the non-human world around her, but inhabited it.
		But Swenson goes beyond the Romantics, and her poetry is far more than erotic.
