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\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eAria da Capo\u003c\/i\u003e, and excerpts from her libretto \u003ci\u003eThe King's Henchman\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"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.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the American Poets Project\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Elegantly designed in compact editions, printed on acid-free paper, and textually authoritative, the American Poets Project makes available the full range of the American poetic accomplishment, selected and introduced by today's most discerning poets and critics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Library of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781931082358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 4.74w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2003 pg. 1269\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2003 pg. 117\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Edna St Vincent Millay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43096315297973,"sku":"9781931082358","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b4806129-f6f3-45f3-8794-f48c9ea00292.jpg?v=1692805238","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/edna-st-vincent-millay-selected-poems-9781931082358","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
