Praised by poets and critics ranging from A. E. Housman and Thomas
Hardy to Edmund Wilson, Edna St. Vincent Millay's bold, exquisite
poems take their place among the enduring verse of the twentieth
century. Claiming a lyric tradition stretching back to Sappho and
Catullus and making it very much her own, Millay won over her
contemporaries and readers ever since with her passion, erotic
candor, formal elegance, and often mischievous wit. J. D.
McClatchy's introduction and selections offer new and surprising
insights into Millay's achievement. Included are her most beloved
and justly admired poems, such as the wry bohemian anthem
"Recuerdo" and the sonnet sequence"Fatal Interview," the poetic
record of a love affair that is presented in its entirety.
McClatchy has also chosen works that extend our sense of Millay's
range: translations, her play"Aria da Capo," and excerpts from her
libretto"The King's Henchman." "I have for the most part been
guided by my taste for Millay at her tautest and truest," writes
McClatchy. "There are precise and resonant images everywhere."
