The Selected Poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay (Modern Library Torchbearers)

One of America€s most celebrated poets€"and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1923€"Edna St. Vincent Millay defined a generation with her passionate lyrics and intoxicating voice of liberation. Edited by Millay biographer Nancy Milford, this Modern Library Paperback Classics collection captures the poet€s unique spirit in works like Renascence and Other Poems, A Few Figs from This-tles, and Second April, as well as in €œThe Ballad of the Harp-Weaver€ and eight sonnets from the early twenties. As Milford writes in her Introduction, €œThese are the poems that made Edna St. Vincent Millay€s reputation when she was young. Saucy, insolent, flip, and defiant, her little verses sting the page.€
