A review by aelbergan
Collected Poems by Norma Millay, Edna St. Vincent Millay
5.0
I continue to read and reread this anthology. Millay’s poetry is beautiful, lyrical, engaging, and, at times, a bit humorous. There are so many different poems of hers that have been relevant to me at different times in my life-sometimes “First Fig” speaks to me; other times “Dirge Without Music” resonates with something inside of me.
Millay’s poetry is something that took hold of me and didn’t let go. Her writing style is amazing, and I truly love reading her poetry. One of the things I love the most is the diversity of her works: she writes sonnets, couplets, what I can only describe as lengthy poems, and everything in between.
