Not my favorite style, but Millay is clever and witty (and also kind dark and twisty?).

Herein lies the danger for someone who 1. loves to read just about anything 2. works in the bargain section at a book store. There is very little to disuade me from buying more books than I can read at one time (the vicious cycle - ooh, that looks interesting...I'll just stick a copy on my shelf and maybe buy it later, it's only $3.99...20 books later I've spent a lot of money on books I wouldn't otherwise even think to read. That is not to say that I don't enjoy Millay - I enjoy her very much. "Aftenoon on a Hill" is my current favorite.

I first fell in love with her poetry because of a sonnet in a collection of poems that had been featured on the London Underground. That sonnet is a part of this collection, included with its accompanying sonnets.
She makes me laugh and want to cry. Occasionally she makes me want to roll my eyes, but I forgive her because then she’ll write something so evocative, it’s like someone took an image straight from my heart and wrote it on the page.
