Enchanting poems from an enchantress Her most famous lines are here "My candle burns at both ends...it gives a lovely light", her first famous poem is here "Renascance"--this spooky poem gained her a mentor and an education at Vassar--and also present are poems from "Fatal Interview" and "Epitath for the Race of Man".My favorite poems are the short ones that talk of love: these are the easy-to-read poems dismissed by the critics. If you read this poem then you must read the potrait of Edna St. Vincent Millay in "The New Yorker" and the memoir "The Shores of Light" by Edmund Wilson, the later book reviewer for The New Yorker magazine. Edmun Wilson was just one of ESVM many jilted suitors.But she let him down gently her said.His book describes how he found work for her at Vanity Fair magazine.ESVM evidently charmed all the men she came in touch with.The editor of Vanity Fair complained that he could not have both of his editors in love with the same contributor to the magazine. Many of the ESVM poems here have to do with nature, like the poem "Spring".Perhaps this is because she moved out of Greenwich Village to the country and there she wrote collections such as "The Buck in Snow".When she got married and left the city she didn't lose touch with her circle of fans and hangers-on including Edmun Wilson.Wilson describes here there at her farm reciting her poetry--she knew all her poems by heart--to wide-eyed admirers. Alot of her poems here have no title.I imagine she might have felt that the title could be a distraction to a poem.If you can't think of a good one then don't create one at all. Finally, feminists certainly will be upset with lines like "I, being born a woman and distressed By all the needs and notions of my kind..."But this is good stuff and lets us peer inside the female heart.They are just like us men it appears "...feel a certain zest to bear your body's weight upon my breast".This stuff is just as erotic and passionate as Shakespeare's sonnets and lyric poems--well not quite but good enough.
Beautiful Poetry
...makes you want to read more, more... Colin Falck, in the Introduction comments that Millay was under-appreciated by those who considered her technique too traditional, and her content lacking in intellectual complexity. Did any of these critics read her sonnets I wonder? I agree with Falck's conclusion that "it is time we found a proper place for this intense, thoughtful, and magnificently literate poet." To the merciless critics I would send Millay's own words... "Cruel of heart, lay down my song./Your reading eyes have done me wrong./Not for you was the pen bitten,/And the mind wrung, and the song written."

Worth it for the sonnets alone
Be Warned
Millay--genius, Milford--idiot
that i love easily and pass the time
A Good Introduction I must also comment on the book itself.My copy has many pages that were cut at an angle with the result that when they were bound the text becomes the margin!The end papers were also effected so the design is set on a slight angle, the edge of which comes close to being cut off.It was unsettling for me to find this book in this condition.I did not return it because I did not care to go to the expense (considering the price of the book) of packaging the book to send back. ...

The Best of EdnaMillay - with wonderful commentary! The presentation in this book of her first three published works really exposes the reader to Millay at the top of her form. For me, the notes and commentary of Editor Holly Peppe helped greatly.Dr. Peppe's analysis is extremely readable and shows
It's an important and lovely book. |

Edna St. Vincent Millay
A Poet's Life Unfurled
The best so far
What Lips My Lips Have Kissed..... The prose reads like Mr. Epstein has fallen in love with Edna just as the many men in her path fell in love with her. I also found the diversions which came later (like the horse Chaladon) and her well known descent into alcoholism and drug addiction were very compelling to dive into: I would have appreciated more of these times, although the limited documentation available would explain why there isn't more information here. This book does its job well: makes me more curious about Edna St. Vincent Millay: from her poetry, her plays and her life outside the written word.
Terrific reading Edna St Vincent Millay was not only a great person of words, but a great seductress and everyone, male and female alike, fell under her spell. Apparently, accordingly to this book, she managed to live up to their expectations quite well. Mr Epstein matches the love poems to the folks they were written for and gives the details of the various affairs. It may not sound interesting, but it is quite interesting - especially since M's Millay seemed to have a weakness for men who were not quite as talented as she was. The background behind "Fatal Interview" and the story of her (apparently) one love she lost before_she_ was ready to is quite an interesting read by itself. Mr Epstein focuses on M's Millay as sort of a self made goddess and how her various affairs shaped her writing. M's Mitford focuses on how M's Millay's relationship with her mother shaped her life. Both of these are very interesting and I'd advise reading them consecutively and draw your own conclusions. In some respects, I think Mr Epstein is correct in what he presumes, but the same can be said of M's Mitford. Throw yourself into the words and life of Edna St Vincent Millay - you'll find yourself awash with her beautiful poetry and prose and this book will help you make sense out of it. ... Read more |
