Why read it?

The majority of Sarton’s work is introspective, giving glimpses into a writer’s creative process, a passion for writing, and one’s observations and emotions.

I read May Sarton and it was as if my experience paralleled her and my struggles validated by her work.
From B.L.'s list on contemporary nature poetry.
