    Extractions: Biographic Sketch Deemed by Edmund Wilson as "a spokesman for the human spirit....with an intoxicating effect on people", Edna St. Vincent Millay was the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, for The Harp-Weaver and Other Poems published in 1923. Experiencing her creative heyday during the 1920's and 1930's, a time of excitement and great social change, Millay became renowned both as a "free spirit poet of early twentieth-century feminism" and an "accomplished lyric poet" who appealed to a wide-ranging and enduring audience. With her red hair, arresting green eyes and melodious voice, the diminutive Millay, with her caustic observations, cynicism and biting wit, was a powerful voice for a young generation of women defiant of convention and experiencing with significant social change. Her classical education at Vassar was a counterpoint to her unconventional childhood and bohemian life in Greenwich Village following college, and both influences are readily seen in her work. Millay, who often was called Vincent (her middle name is taken from the canonized French priest Vincent de Paul), wrote not only poetry, but fiction, articles for Vanity Fair magazine, numerous plays, and a libretto for The Kings Henchmen, first performed in 1927 at New York's Metropolitan Opera. She is particularly noted for her skillful rendering of the sonnet form, which has been praised for its "tension created between form and content". And later still, she became known for her rousing patriotic writings of the 1940's, during WWII.

    Extractions: Edna St. Vincent Millay Edna St. Vincent Millay was born in Rockland, Maine, in 1892. When Edna was seven years old, her mother Cora asked Edna's father to leave. Cora was a nurse and always encouraged her daughters to pursue music and literature. Cora encouraged Edna to enter a poetry contest. In doing this, Edna won a scholarship to Vassar College after her poem "Renascence" won fourth place. She graduated from Vassar College in 1917, which is the same year Renascence and Other Poems was published. At one time, Edna was romantically involved with Wynne Matthison, a British actress. The two wrote passionate letters to each other. In one letter, Edna wrote, "You wrote me a beautiful letter,I wonder if you meant it to be as beautiful as it was.I think you did, for somehow I know that your feeling for me, however slight it is, is of the nature of love… When you tell me to come, I will come, by the next train, just as I am. This is not meekness, be assured; I do not come naturally be meekness; know that it is a proud surrender to you." Edna had many romantic relationships with women before her marriage to Eugen Boissevain in 1923. It is unknown if she continued to have relationships with women during her marriage. It is also unknown which of her poems were written about women and which were written about men. They were married all the way until Eugen's death in 1949.

The title work was a tribute to her selfless and encouraging mother. Millay's unconventional life in Greenwich Village in the 1920s embodied the spirit of the New Woman - sexual freedom, independence, and political activism.

(Millay's middle name derived from the French priest St. Vincent de Paul) Her father had a weakness for poker playing, and although he deserted his family, Millay kept contact with him. After divorce in 1900 Cora Millay moved with her three daughters, Edna, Norma, and Kathleen, to Camden, into a small house in the poorest part of the town. To support her family she worked as a district nurse and was often away on assignment. Trained to be a singer, she coached town orchestras and wrote out scores for their members. She also encouraged her daughters in their musical and poetic ambitions, and taught Edna to write poetry at the age of five.

    Extractions: Biography Edna St. Vincent Millay was raised in a small Maine town by a highly supportive divorced mother, who encouraged her daughters to read, develop their musical talents, and follow their ambitions. Millay graduated from Vassar College and then moved to the Greenwich Village section of New York City, home to avant-garde artists and political radicals. She acted and wrote plays for the Provincetown Players, located in the Village, and became known as the epitome of the modern woman because of her vivacity, sexual liberation, and independent spirit. She was also an activist who protested the Sacco and Vanzetti executions and argued for America's early entrance into World War II. Her works include Renascence and Other Poems (1917) and her Pulitzer prize-winning Ballad of the Harp-Weaver Explorations The anthology includes love sonnets, I Think I Should Have Loved You Presently (1922) and [ I, being born a woman ] (1923), in which a woman addresses a man. There are plenty of love sonnets in the Anglo-American tradition but the usual pattern is for these to be male voices speaking to or about women; and when women poets respond on the subject of love or sexuality, their poems have traditionally been abstract and spiritual. Like Claude McKay , Millay uses tight traditional forms to achieve intensity: disturbing and heretical themes in poised, polished stanzas. When she writes about love, passion, or faith, she uses plain language; to read Millay is to experience an often-astounding contrast between the urbanity and civility of her lines and the surprising thoughts that erupt within them.
