Like many other women, Connecticut photographer Edith Royce Schade first discovered the writing of May Sarton in the early seventies. Over the years, Sarton's work greatly influenced Schade's photography and her outlook on life. Soon after they first met in 1983 they developed a friendship. Later the idea for a book emerged: a combination of Schade's striking black-and-white photographs and excerpts from Sarton's eloquent poetry and prose. This beautiful gift book offers readers an extraordinary photographic "feast" and an opportunity to drink deeply From May Sarton's Well.

The material facts about this book: it has158 pages with 63 black & white photographs, 7" x 9.25", full color cover, acid-free paper .
