Audio Reviews:
"By listening to selections
from all of Sarton's memoirs, it is possible to experience the hypnotic rhythm
of Sarton's recorded thoughts, the strength she draws from beauty and order, and
the transformation of this strength into craft."
-Maine Times
"Itkin has the ability to express rich
emotions in vibrant tones, an important skill in such a contemplative and strikingly
honest work."

Award, AudioFile
"Audio Bookshelf has collected a group
of feisty Sarton reminiscences. The staunch-minded octogenerian poet provides
her own introduction, sounding self-assured, even regal and eager to provoke intellectually."
-Publishers Weekly , Best of the year, 1994
