"I would submit that Edna St. Vincent Millay may be the most underrated poet in the English language.
Was she a formalist, and therefore out of vogue? Too bad. Was she a naughty girl, and therefore sent to a place less than nice when she died? More power to her; I'm sure she felt right at home.
The woman who, as an undergrad at Vassar, defied the president of the college to expel her and was told "What? "And have a banished Shelley on my doorstep?" -- and who then allegedly responded "On those terms, I think I can continue to live in this hell hole" -- was obviously not someone to be trifled with.
Cheeky? No doubt. A hellcat? She could've set the wind on fire -- then have doused the flames in a wink with wit alone.
Every one of the sonnets in this collection is a gift to the reader. This book alone is worth a year's tuition at Vassar -- and would no doubt prove more valuable to the few who may be caught there (or at Smith, Wellesley, Barnard, Mount Holyoke, or Bryn Mawr) against their will. It's too bad Radcliffe merged with Harvard only well after her death. The only wonder is that she didn't rise from the grave to stop it -- or, instead, lead the movement to have Harvard merge with Radcliffe."
"even though i don't think she is the strongest poet of the modern age, i relish edna st. vincent millay's poetry for personal reasons. ESVM is my mother's favorite poet, and she fell in love with her when she was my age -- a spirited young feminist at the University of Missouri in the 60s. images of mom pouring over these lyrical poems while laying on the quad lend extra magic to this collection. and i have her copy!
