If she has been too often overlooked in the last half century and more, this edition will undoubtedly help restore Millay’s brilliant, witty, and tragic feminine voice to her rightful place among the company of Hart Crane, Frost, Williams, Pound, Eliot and Stevens.”—Paul Mariani, Boston College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Edna St. Vincent Millay is like Robert Frost or Philip Larkin in that her poems would survive even if every professor and professional critic ignored them (as, at times, they have). Her poems are both ancient and modern, comprised of equal parts pain and elation, ravishing music and stark reality.  She can break your heart, or, perhaps more importantly, remind you of the person who once had a heart that could be broken.”—Christian Wiman, author of \u003ci\u003eMy Bright Abyss\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Many of the poets and academics who once dismissed Edna St. Vincent Millay as minor, and stylistically old fashioned are themselves now unread, forgotten.
