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."
 Earphones

Sarton reminiscences. The staunch-minded octogenerian poet provides her own introduction,
sounding self-assured, even regal and eager to provoke intellectually."
