Description
Edna St. Vincent Millay's life was a testament to the power of art and love. Born into poverty, she found solace in words, music, and drama, and an unyielding desire to be loved. Her poetry made her famous at twenty, and by thirty, she was loved by readers worldwide. Few men could resist her, and many women fell under her spell. This biography, written by Daniel Mark Epstein, tells the astonishing story of Millay's life, drawing on letters, diaries, and journals that have only recently become available. The poet's liberated lifestyle sparked speculation about who might be the real subject of her verses, and the scandal over "Fatal Interview" twenty years later only added to the intrigue. Epstein's book offers a fresh perspective on Millay's life, one that is both intimate and insightful. Through her poetry and personal correspondence, Millay's story is revealed in all its complexity and beauty. This is a story of a woman who refused to be defined by convention, and who inspired countless readers with her words.
