About the Author

Edna St Vincent Millay was one of America's most popular poets and best-known poet of her time. She was a brilliantly innovative verse technician finding latent energies in traditional forms and discovering new means of her own to express what her editor Colin Falck calls 'her complex and extremely subtle feminist consciousness, her almost Blakean sense of the mysteriousness of ordinary life. Millay's work is resistant to theory, yet she has never forfeited the love of general readers and a new generation will still discover one of the most accomplished and passionate poets of the last century.
