Cannily brilliant, unconventionally beautiful, and ruthlessly committed to the perfection of her art and craft, U.S. poet and dramatist Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) gave the Jazz Age its lyric voice. If F. Scott Fitzgerald was the definitive prose chronicler of that era, then the five-foot-nuthin' flame-haired bisexual dynamo set their generation's pace, showing and telling her peers "what to say about how they felt," and doing it with "wit, style, and passion." So writes authorised biographer Nancy Milford in Savage Beauty , the exquisite rendering of the once ubiquitous and universally beloved turn-of-the-century celebrity (its author spent 20-plus years polishing). Milford's previous work, Zelda (1970), sold more than 1.4 million copies in five editions and was a finalist for both the Pulitzer and National Book Awards. Now, with the release of Savage Beauty - timed to coincide with a fresh collection of Millay's finest edited by Milford ( The Selected Poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay ) - this unflinchingly astute and compulsively readable portrait looks poised to become one of the season's hottest sellers, especially since Milford delivers the uncut dope on a life that was, by all accounts, cursed and blessed in equal measure.

"Vincent" was the quintessential Jazz Baby, rivaling Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald for debauched creative brilliance. In the roaring 20s of Greenwich Village, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, weathering endless cycles of penury, luxury, alcoholism, narcotic addiction—and rampant promiscuity, devouring lovers like a tray of hors d’oevres at a cocktail party.

A glass of gin in one hand, a glowing cigarette raised to an enticing red mouth. Steeped in post-WW 1 cynicism, Edna St. Vincent Millay's sonnets were romantic, frank, accessible. They turned her into an overnight sensation. In the 1920s she became the most widely read poet in America. -

HOME - abc Calendar Counties Governors Timeline ... Reference Desk MILLAY, EDNA ST. VINCENT (1892-1950) was born in Rockland on February 22, 1892 and moved to Camden with her family when she was twelve, graduated from Camden High School, then Vassar College. Her mother, divorced, had little money for her three daughters, but encouraged reading and music in them. With no prospects of affording college, Edna read her new poem Renascence at a party at the Whitehall Inn in Camden. She so impressed a woman in attendance that she financed Edna's education at Vassar. A plaque set in stone at the top of Mount Battie in Camden commemorates the writing of the poem, supposedly written while enjoying the view from the summit. Many of her poems contained romantic themes of love, death, youthful rebelliousness, and the cosmos. Later her works focused on the events of World War II. In 1933, she and her husband bought Ragged Island, part of Harpswell, in Casco Bay. She enjoyed wide popularity, then suffered a nervous breakdown in the late 1940's and died on October 19, 1950, in Austerlitz, New York. Among her poems are A few Figs from Thistles The Ballard of the Harp-Weaver Conversation at Midnight , and The Murder of Lidice , about the destruction of a Czechoslovakian town by the Germans in World War II.

Biography of Edna St. Vincent Millay 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, though not documented, are 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.

The title work was a tribute to her selfless and encouraging mother. Millay's unconventional life in Greenwich Village in the 1920s embodied the spirit of the New Woman - sexual freedom, independence, and political activism. Well, I have lost you; and I lost you fairly In my own way, and with my full consent.

(from 'Sonnet XLVII', in Fatal Interview Edna St. Vincent Millay was born in Rockland, Maine, as the daughter of Henry Tolman Millay, a school principal, and Cora Lounella (Buzzelle) Millay. (Millay's middle name derived from the French priest St. Vincent de Paul) Her father had a weakness for poker playing, and although he deserted his family, Millay kept contact with him. After divorce in 1900 Cora Millay moved with her three daughters, Edna, Norma, and Kathleen, to Camden, into a small house in the poorest part of the town. To support her family she worked as a district nurse and was often away on assignment. Trained to be a singer, she coached town orchestras and wrote out scores for their members. She also encouraged her daughters in their musical and poetic ambitions, and taught Edna to write poetry at the age of five.

'); document.writeln(' Click Here! Edna St. Vincent Millay Biographic Sketch Deemed by Edmund Wilson as "a spokesman for the human spirit....with an intoxicating effect on people", Edna St. Vincent Millay was the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, for The Harp-Weaver and Other Poems published in 1923. Experiencing her creative heyday during the 1920's and 1930's, a time of excitement and great social change, Millay became renowned both as a "free spirit poet of early twentieth-century feminism" and an "accomplished lyric poet" who appealed to a wide-ranging and enduring audience. With her red hair, arresting green eyes and melodious voice, the diminutive Millay, with her caustic observations, cynicism and biting wit, was a powerful voice for a young generation of women defiant of convention and experiencing with significant social change. Her classical education at Vassar was a counterpoint to her unconventional childhood and bohemian life in Greenwich Village following college, and both influences are readily seen in her work. Millay, who often was called Vincent (her middle name is taken from the canonized French priest Vincent de Paul), wrote not only poetry, but fiction, articles for Vanity Fair magazine, numerous plays, and a libretto for The Kings Henchmen, first performed in 1927 at New York's Metropolitan Opera. She is particularly noted for her skillful rendering of the sonnet form, which has been praised for its "tension created between form and content". And later still, she became known for her rousing patriotic writings of the 1940's, during WWII.

Encyclopedia Millay, Edna St. Vincent [mil A Pronunciation Key Millay, Edna St. Vincent , American poet, b. Rockland, Maine, grad. Vassar College, 1917. One of the most popular poets of her era, Millay was admired as much for the bohemian freedom of her youthful lifestyle as for her verse. During the early 1920s she lived in Greenwich Village, New York City, and wrote satiric sketches for Vanity Fair under the pseudonym Nancy Boyd. Among her friends were Edmund Wilson and John Peale Bishop. Renascence, her first volume of poetry, appeared in 1917 and was praised for its freshness and vitality. It was followed by A Few Figs from Thistles Second April (1921), and The Ballad of the Harp Weaver (1922; Pulitzer Prize). She also was a member of the Provincetown Players , a group that produced several of her verse dramas, including Aria da Capo (1920) and Two Slatterns and a King Fatal Interview (1931), a superb sonnet cycle; Conversation at Midnight (1937); and Make Bright the Arrows (1940). She also wrote the libretto for Deems Taylor's opera The King's Henchman (1927) and, with George Dillon, she translated Baudelaire's
