Born in Rockland, Maine, Millay was the daughter of a nurse and a schoolteacher. She was educated at Vassar College, where she won the college’s dramatic club prize. After college, she moved to New York City and became a regular contributor to the popular magazines of the day.\n\nMillay’s first volume of poetry, Renascence, was published in 1912 and was widely praised for its lyrical quality and its passionate exploration of love and death. Her later works, such as The Lamp and the Bell (1921) and The Harp-Weaver and Other Poems (1923), which won her the Pulitzer Prize, further established her reputation as a major poet.\n\nMillay was also known for her strong feminist stance, which was evident in her poem “Justice Denied in Massachusetts” (1917), which protested the inequality of women’s rights in the state. Her works also include plays, such as Aria da Capo (1919), and books of sonnets, such as Fatal Interview (1931).\n\nMillay was an influential poet of the early twentieth century and her works remain popular to this day. Her poetry is known for its strong language, vivid imagery, and lyrical beauty. Her feminist and social justice perspectives continue to resonate with readers. Millay’s works continue to be studied and celebrated by readers, scholars, and fans alike.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0B6XZ2RX9\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0B6XZ2RX9.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Millay, Edna St. Vincent\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Mass market paperback in GOOD condition with normal wear from use.
