Edna St. Vincent Millay: Selected PoemsEntry/Object ID
2018.017.020Description
A collection of work by Edna Saint Vincent Millay as edited and arranged by J.D. McClatchy. From the inside cover: "Praised by poets and critics ranging from A.E. Housman and Thomas Hardy to Edmund Wilson, Edna St. Vincent Millay's bold, exquisite poems take their place among the enduring verse of the twentieth century. Claiming a lyric tradition stretching back to Sappho and Catullus and making it very much her own, Millay won over her contemporaries - and readers ever since - with her passion, erotic candor, formal elegance, and often mischievous wit. J.D. McClatchy's introduction and selection offer new and surprising insights into Millay's achievement."
