"Truly one of my all-time favorites! No one chooses her words more carefully, expresses her thoughts, touches her emotions, even the raw ones, as delicately as Edna St. Vincent Millay.
A more current favorite favorite is Mary Oliver, but she doesn't carve as carefully to the bone as Millay."
"Can one be ever done reading a book of poetry? If it sucks, maybe. But her lyrics are amazing, and I jumped around a bit trying to find something to read for my grandmother's funeral. Millay's poems are maybe too incisive for funereal purposes, but I read and re-read "Childhood is the Kingdom Where Nobody Dies." It just shakes me."
