Collected Sonnets by Edna St. Vincent Millay

5.0

My poetry tastes tend to run to free verse (see: Frank O'Hara, Richard Siken, Elizabeth Bishop, Bob Hicok), so reading a book made up of formally structured poems was a new experience. (Which may be why it took me four months to finish.) I loved this collection, though. I am completely bowled over by how effective and emotive and beautiful Millay's sonnets are.
