Happy Birthday May

One of my great honors as a publisher was the opportunity to help bring From May Sarton's Well into being. Edited by Edith Royce Schade, the book combined Edith's photographs with her personal selections from May's poetry and essays.

It did quite well and remains in print today. One of my treasures from that time is a handwritten postcard from May, assuring me that she too was pleased with the volume.

You betcha! It's one of those things that's buried in storage. Along with James's ashes. Can't wait.
