A brilliant and deeply personal poet - virtually unknown during her lifetime - Ruth Stone flourished in her beloved farmhouse during summers in Goshen, Vermont. A young widow without a college education, she struggled to support herself and her three young daughters, even while winning awards and earning the accolades from her peers. Said Sharon Olds, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, "So here was a poet, who clearly believed that poetry was for singing our deepest feelings.... Her capacity to write beauty was extraordinary." I hope everyone can experience the extraordinary beauty of Ruth Stone's poetry.
