A review by abetterjulie
Edna St. Vincent Millay Selected Poems by Edna St. Vincent Millay

4.0

This book was filled with beautiful passages and stunning talent. There were a few pieces in the collection that I didn't care for, such as the Aria Da Capo, but I liked the rest of them enough to buy the book so that I can re-read it. It astounds me that someone could take words and arrange them in such a way that they cut and cry. If you aren't familiar with metrical poetry, I would recommend trying this collection as a gentle introduction. I had no idea that she was famous at such a young age! It is incredible to me that Renascence was written while she was a teenager.
