| | Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) |
 | | Millay continues to appeal to a large audience, as shown by the publication in the fall of 1987 of a new edition of her sonnets, a volume of critical essays, and an annotated bibliography of secondary sources. | | | Millay's interest in heterosexual relationships is a major theme in her poetry, whether between husband and wife, as in "An Ancient Gesture," or between disaffected lovers, as in "The Spring and the Fall." Few American poets in this century have written on this subject with the combined artistry and diversity of Millay. | | | Millay also wrote on subjects that have a long history in English verse--the natural scene, romantic love, impermanence and death, and even poetry itself and the poet. |

| | Vincent's birthday that year was noted by her mother as "an unpleasant day." As Cora totted up its costs, she said she'd paid $30.00 for a set of books for Vincent and $3.00 for a subscription to St. Nicholas, a children's magazine. | | | Milford never convincingly explores what made and unmade Millay as a poet -- the books she read, the poets she imitated, the craft she learned and adapted, the literary discussions she had, the virtues or errors that distinguish her work, how individual poems were put together and why. | | | Millay's final decade is the part of ''Savage Beauty'' that will most fascinate and appall. |

| | Edna St. Vincent Millay's Life |
| | Millay is the poetic voice of eternal youth, feminine revolt and liberation, and potent sensitivity and suggestiveness. | | | She moved to New York City, where she acted with the Provincetown Players, lived impecuniously in Greenwich Village, and indulged in love affairs with several men, including the novelist Floyd Dell and, briefly, the married poet Arthur Davison Ficke. | | | The libretto was published and went through four quick editions, reportedly earning Millay $100 a day for a while. |

| | The Academy of American Poets - Edna St. Vincent Millay |
| | Millay, who was openly bisexual, refused, despite Dell's attempts to persuade her otherwise. | | | She and the other writers of Greenwich Village were, according to Millay herself, "very, very poor and very, very merry." She joined the Provincetown Players in their early days, and befriended writers such as Witter Bynner, Edmund Wilson, Susan Glaspell, and Floyd Dell, who asked for Millay's hand in marriage. | | | In addition to publishing three plays in verse, Millay also wrote the libretto of one of the few American grand operas, The King's Henchman (1927). |

| | Edna and Dell were lovers at the time | | | To keep her own hopes alive, Edna created a nightly ritual where, envisioning an imaginary lover, she lit a candle and vowed undying love. | | | Soon Eliot, Pound, and their followers would see to it that poems not bristling with paradox, irony, ambiguity, and allusion would not be called poems anymore. |

| | In her youth she flirted with the idea of becoming an actress, and the genius so many people saw in her was inextricable from her ability to look and behave exactly like her audience's notion of a divinely inspired girl poet. | | | Few students are under any compulsion to read her verse anymore; it has fallen far out of fashion among critics and scholars. | | | Wilson recollected that falling in love with her "was so common an experience, so almost inevitable a consequence of knowing her in those days." During this period, Cora (who, with her other two daughters, had soon moved to the city to live with Edna) once asked Norma, "Who is Edna killing now? |

| | She called them "posters, not poems," and said "I know bad poetry as well as the next one." She explained to her friends, "This book is a book of impassioned propaganda, into which a few good poems got bound up, because they are propaganda too." | | | Millay was the dazzling "It" girl of the Bohemian '20s who became a legend when serious writers had the status of rock stars, who sold hugely well in the depths of the Depression, and whose readings were always sold out. | | | But she came from an age in which poetry was read widely by millions of literate people and Robert Frost was a national icon when John Kennedy, himself a poetry reader, asked him to speak at his inauguration in 1961. |
