May Sarton

May Sarton (1912-1995), renowned novelist, memoirist, poet, and feminist, lived for many years in Nelson, New Hampshire. She is perhaps best known for her nonfiction on growing older (Recovering: A Journal, Journal of Solitude, among others). She wrote "As Does New Hampshire" to celebrate the bicentennial of Nelson, and dedicated it to the residents of the town.
