A Film by Martha Wheelock and Marita Giovanni Simpson (1980)
Enter the world of poet and novelist May Sarton on this one-of-a-kind documentary film - a world of solitude and passion that we are privileged to see and hear first-hand. Filmed with her full cooperation, World of Light is narrated by Sarton herself, offering a complete picture of her life as a woman writer outside the mainstream. World of Light documents May Sarton in the final period of her long career, contemplating her work, her loves, and her influence on other women. May Sarton In her own words you will hear May Sarton reflect on solitude (“my last great love”), how a writer can persist, the impact and unforeseen popularity of her journals, why she started to write (“to discover my feelings”), and more.

Just what I needed today. I love her journals. She gives me courage to live alone and try to be happy. Also, she is much prettier than the few pictures of her in her journals. You can see how full of passion for life she was. RIP May.

She was a complicated, textured, difficult, often hurtful woman who wrote deeply and intimately about her life as an artist and her struggles with anger, depression, manic behavior, and broken relationships without sentimentality. She held all her facets to the light.

Pues esto que dices yo no lo he visto en sus libros, veo más bien una mujer sensible, valiente, amante de la naturaleza, independiente, fuerte, buena amiga de sus amigos. Un Saludo.

May Sarton talks of Martha and Marita visits to make this film in her journal Recovering and here it is! A good surprise to find it. I’m a big fan of her journals, having read them all, over many years. I Admire her poetry too. Her novels not so much, having read only one, perhaps two! I enjoyed this video, not having heard her voice before. She is a good reader of poetry.

My only contact with Sarton is "A Journal of a Solitude," which presented itself while I browsed a used bookshop. (Don't all books do this? ) This film proves Sarton's authenticity: she is the same on the page as she is in person. A reader has a childlike hope that a hero or heroine is true to the qualities assigned in a story or legend. The adult who closes the book would find it miraculous that her work is a true introduction to the woman and artist. Doesn't every viewer feel they could sit down for coffee with her without the anxiety that comes with a first meeting? Thanks to Ms. Wheelock and Ms. Simpson. Your film has the same tone and quality of the series "Voices and Visions."

What enlightened person is so obsessed w/ their own life?

Todos estamos ocupados no obsesionados con nuestra propia vida, sino con que vamos a estar ocupados. ¿con la vida de los demás? Normalmente, quien se ocupa de la vida de los demás es para criticarla y juzgarla.

Bongiorno! Desidero dirvi che ho inserito My Sarton tra le mie letture del mese di Dicembre 2023. Ne ho scelto le vesti poetiche che adoro. E in particolare Phoenx again. Per spiegarvi la mia ammirazione per May Sarton e' necessaria una premessa basilare, occorre ripotare il pensiero indietro nel tempo. Fui praticamente l'unica al mondo a leggere Beatrix Potter nel suo The Tailor of Gloucester: una chicca preziosa che riesumo sempre quando giunge il tempo del Natale e quando ci si affretta a fare il presepe. No, sicuramente non fui solo io a leggere The Tailor of Gloucester di Beatrix Potter, a pensarci bene. Io & Harry Potter. Se non si torna a Beatrix Potter ne The Tailor of Gloucester, non si puo' capire May Sarton.
