Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) was an American playwright, Pulitzer Prize-winning lyrical poet, and feminist activist. One of the most celebrated poets in American history, Millay is hailed as the twentieth century’s most skilful sonnet writers who expertly married modern attitudes with traditional forms of expression. First published in 1923, The Poet and His Book contains some of Millay’s best poetry, including: Renascence , God’s World , Afternoon on a Hill , Journey , Sorrow , Tavern , Ashes of Life , The Little Ghost , Kin to Sorrow , Three Songs of Shattering , The Shroud , The Dream , Indifference , Witch-Wife , Blight , etc. Timeless and deeply profound, Millay’s poems are infused with fiery romance and the youthful spirit that would become a characteristic of her writing. Highly recommended for all poetry lovers and those with a particular penchant for sonnets. Other notable works by this author include: Two Slatterns and a King and The Lamp and the Bell . Ragged Hand - Read & Co is republishing this classic poetry collection now in a new edition complete with a biography of the author by Carl Van Doren.
