The Life and Poetry of Edna St.Vincent Millay BIOGRAPHY OF EDNA ST.VINCENT MILLAY 1892-1950 Edna St. Vincent Millay, born in 1892 in Maine, grew to become one of the premier twentieth-century lyric poets. She was also an accomplished playwright and speaker who often toured giving readings of her poetry. All of that was in her public life, but her private life was equally interesting. An unconventional childhood led into an unconventional adulthood. She was an acknowledged bisexual who carried on many affairs with women, an affection for which is sometimes evident in her poems and plays. She did marry, but even that part of her life was somewhat unusual, with the marriage being quite open, and extramarital affairs, tho not documented, quite probable. At the young age of seven, Edna's mother asked her husband to leave the family home. After that point he held a negligible role in the girl's life. Edna and her two sisters moved, with their mother, to Newburyport, Massachusetts where, to Edna's delight, she was given piano lessons. Edna (who insisted on being called Vincent and who even entered writing contests under that name) and her sisters were encouraged in their literary and musical leanings by their mother. Then, in highschool, Millay's interests expanded to include theater. She performed in numerous plays and wrote a Halloween play for her classmates to act out. Millay enjoyed her free-spirited childhood and adolescence and the creativity that it inspired. At the age of twenty, she entered her poem "Renascence" into a poetry contest for the The Lyric Year, a contest from which 100 poems were to be chosen to be published. It was, at first, overlooked as being too simplistic, However, one of the judges took a second look at it and the poem, now one of her most well known, ended up winning fourth place. It was that poem which really started her on her literary career, beginning with a scholarship to the then all female college of Vassar.

American Literature Web Resources: Edna St. Vincent Millay Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) compiled by Elizabeth Kreydich, Millikin University Edna St. Vincent Millay was characterized as one of the greatest (women) lyricists of the Twentieth Century. She is known as one of the greatest sonnet writers of all time, with her soft style and striking connotations. Millay has been described as a tease and a tomboy. Her mother urged her and her two younger sisters, Norma and Kathleen to be independent and ambitious. It is rumored that her mother taught her to write verse by the age four, and her first poem that was published she wrote at fourteen. She studied as a child to become a concert pianist, and became successful with music and literature composition, and was a playwright. Millay was a flamboyant twenties feminist, who didn't care to follow the rules set by a society of men, but rather create her own. She was described as "only five feet tall, with red hair, changeable green eyes, and a melodious voice." It was also said that she had an, "intoxicating affect on people." (Edmund Wilson) Chronology 1892-Edna St. Vincent Millay was born to Henry Tolman Millay and Cora Lounella (Buzelle) Millay, in Rockland, Maine on February 22nd.

Millay, Edna St. Vincent (1892-1950), poet Born on February 22, 1892, in Rockland, Maine, Vincent Millay, as she was known to her family, was reared in nearby Camden by her divorced mother, who recognized and encouraged her talent in writing poetry. Her first published poem appeared in the St. Nicholas Magazine for children in October 1906. She remained at home after her graduation from high school in 1909, and in four years she published five more poems in St. Nicholas. Her first acclaim came when "Renascence" was included in The Lyric Year in 1912; the poem brought Millay to the attention of a benefactor who made it possible for her to attend Vassar College . She graduated in 1917. In that year she published her first book, Renascence and Other Poems, and moved to Greenwich Village in New York City. There she became a lively and admired figure among the avant garde and radical literary set. To support herself Millay, under the pseudonym "Nancy Boyd," submitted hackwork verse and short stories to magazines, and while her ambition to go on the stage was short-lived, she worked with the Provincetown Players for a time and later wrote the one-act Aria da Capo (1920) for them. The same year she published the verse collection

BIOGRAPHY Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) was born in Maine and educated at Vassar. By the time she graduated in 1917, she had already achieved considerable fame as a poet. In the same year, she moved to Greenwich Village in New York and published her first volume of poetry, Renascence and Other Poems . In Greenwich Village, she established her reputation as a poet and became notorious for her bohemian life and passionate love affairs. In 1923 she received a Pulitzer Prize for a collection of sonnets, The Harp-Weaver , that dealt wittily and flippantly with love. Her later works exhibit a more subdued and contemplative tone as well as a growing preoccupation with social and political affairs. Nevertheless, her best and most memorable verse deals with the bittersweet emotions of love and the brevity of life.

EDNA VINCENT ST. MILLAY I made fierce emotional connection with Millays poetry years ago. I didn't know until I went back over some of her work this year that she actually makes reference to her bisexuality. For this, I give her literary love ample room on this page, just as I have given her sweetness and her beauty ample space in me. C. Trainor THINK NOT I AM FAITHFUL by: Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) Think not I am faithful to a vow! Faithless am I save to love's self alone. Were you not lovely I would leave you now: After the feet of beauty fly my own. Were you not still my hunger's rarest food, And water ever to my wildest thirst, I would desert you think not but I would! And seek another as I sought you first. But you are mobile as the veering air, And all your charms more changeful than the tide, Wherefore to be inconstant is no care: I have but to continue at your side. So wanton, light and false, my love, are you, I am most faithless when I most am true. "Think Not I Am Faithful" is reprinted from A Few Figs from Thistles: Poems and Sonnets. New York: Harper, 1922.

Mrs. Millay provided a home environment rich in literature and music. Evidently a gifted child, Millay wrote her first poem at the age of five. When she was twelve, her poems first appeared in St. Nicholas Magazine, which two years later awarded her a gold badge for poetry. She contributed poems to her high school magazine and appeared in high school plays and in local productions by touring acting companies. When at the age of twenty she recited her poem “Renascence” as entertainment at a local hotel resort, she was “discovered” by a visiting official of the New York City YWCA, who sponsored Millay’s entrance into college. While at Vassar College, she wrote poetry and plays for the campus magazine, composed her class’s baccalaureate hymn, and drew considerable attention when she acted in college plays. Millay lived for eight years in Greenwich Village, during which she appeared as an actress at the Provincetown Playhouse, where her popular one-act play Aria da Capo was first produced, and devoted herself to writing. After marrying Eugene Boissevain, a Dutch American importer, in 1923, she resided permanently at her estate, Steepletop, in eastern New York State. In addition to being the first woman poet to receive the Pulitzer Prize (1923), Millay was the recipient of five honorary degrees and numerous awards for poetry. She was hailed in the 1940s as “one of the ten greatest living women.”

Edna St. Vincent Millay Rockland Edna St. Vincent Millay was renowned for her traditional poetic and her bohemian living during her life. She infused the conventional forms of poetry with a fervent contemporary liberal and feminist spirit, coupled with the dark soul so many Maine writers posit. The publication in 1912 of her poem, "Renascence," won her acclaim. Early in her career, Millay wrote fiction under the pseudonym Nancy Boyd. She later wrote several plays and an opera libretto. In 1923 Millay was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry. In the 1930s she published sonnets that have earned her a lasting place among practitioners of the form. In later years, she applied her art to the Allied war effort and other social causes. Edmund Wilson deemed Millay "a spokesman for the human spirit". Few writers have commanded so wide and enduring an audience. From 1923 to her death, Millay lived with her husband in Austerlitz, New York, at a farmhouse at Steepletop, now a National Historic Landmark. Sonnet Mindful of you the sodden earth in spring

Edna St. Vincent Millay by Daniel Mark Epstein Unquiet spirit, by what right Do I come to disturb your dust In this omniscient October light A half century almost from the day You tumbled down your library stairs Into eternal night? By what right Do I invade the dignity of your house, Ransack the closets, shelves and drawers, Measuring your dresses and jewelry, Picturing you alive, challenging me? I breathe deep, hoping a sweet scent Of you, long breathless, might arise, Some stray atom of your spirit meant For mine alone. We are not so different Souls confronting the inarticulate. Like others of my time and not like you Who made a fortune making Fortune rhyme. To make my living I must turn to prose. This is what has brought me to your house, Gardens, letters, grave and diary. Why do you preserve all of this stuff, Your books, shoes and teacups, lingerie, A hat made from a peacock, golden coat Cut from a lion or an ocelot? The fiery swirl of hair clipped from your head In childhood to make tresses for a doll; The doll itself! Sits staring, cracked and bald

Steepletop Millay at the pool in the sunken gardens, c. 1940 Photographs courtesy of the Edna St. Vincent Millay Society. Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950), poet Steepletop, a two-story white clapboard house, was the country home of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay for 25 years and in many ways forms a striking memorial to her life. Millay's writing career began in childhood and attracted public attention in 1911 with the publication of "Renascence," a work which drew wide admiration and critical praise. She graduated from Vassar, became active in women's rights issues and incorporated activist themes into several of her poems and plays. Millay was awarded the 1923 Pulitzer Prize for The Harp Weaver and Other Poems, the work which best represents her romantic and dramatic emotional style. In 1925, Millay and her husband, Eugene Boissevain, purchased a berry farm in upstate New York, which they renamed "Steepletop" after the wildflowers that grew in nearby fields. Steepletop sheltered Millay from the outside world, and she composed many works there, including the libretto for the opera, The King's Henchman
