Originally an Italian import, it has become the most popular, almost the standard form in English, with thousands of published examples produced by practically every major and minor poet since before Shakespeare. Everyone should write at least one sonnet in a lifetime.

    Extractions: About Edna St. Vincent Millay E dna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) was born in Rockland, Maine. Her parents, Cora Lounella, a nurse, and Henry Tolman Millay, a schoolteacher, divorced when she was about eight; "Vincent" stayed with her mother. In 1917 she graduated from Vassar, published Renascence and Other Poems (the title piece had won her recognition in 1912), and took the lead in her own play The Princess Marries the Page Aria da Capo and Two Slatterns and a King . Meanwhile she earned her living with pseudonymous magazine sketches [published under the name Nancy Boyd and] collected in Distressing Dialogues in 1924. With the frank and cynical love poetry of A Few Figs From Thistles in 1920 [containing "First Fig," one of Millay’s most well known and widely quoted poems], and Second April in 1921, Edna St. Vincent Millay was hailed as the voice of her generation, embodiment of the New Woman. After two years in Europe as a correspondent for Vanity Fair , she married Eugene Jan Boissevain in 1923; [Millay had earlier] devoted a sonnet to the memory of his first wife, her suffragist idol Inez Milholland. [In 1923 she also] became the first woman to receive a Pulitzer Prize for poetry, for Ballad of the Harp Weaver . At the height of her popularity she joined a writer’s crusade to stay the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti in 1927; she commemorated their end in five poems, "Justice Denied in Massachusetts", "Hangman’s Oak", "The Anguish", "To Those Without Pity", and "Wine from These Grapes" (collected in

    Extractions: Books by Millay Edna St. Vincent Millay, born in 1892 in Maine, grew to become one of the premier twentieth-century lyric poets. She was also an accomplished playwright and speaker who often toured giving readings of her poetry. All of that was in her public life, but her private life was equally interesting. An unconventional childhood led into an unconventional adulthood. She was an acknowledged bisexual who carried on many affairs with women, an affection for which is sometimes evident in her poems and plays. She did marry, but even that part of her life was somewhat unusual, with the marriage being quite open, and extramarital affairs, though not documented, are quite probable. At the young age of seven, Edna's mother asked her husband to leave the family home. After that point he held a negligible role in the girl's life. Edna and her two sisters moved, with their mother, to Newburyport, Massachusetts where, to Edna's delight, she was given piano lessons. Edna (who insisted on being called Vincent and who even entered writing contests under that name) and her sisters were encouraged in their literary and musical leanings by their mother. Then, in highschool, Millay's interests expanded to include theater. She performed in numerous plays and wrote a Halloween play for her classmates to act out. Millay enjoyed her free-spirited childhood and adolescence and the creativity that it inspired. At the age of twenty, she entered her poem

    Extractions: Pronunciation Key Millay, Edna St. Vincent , American poet, b. Rockland, Maine, grad. Vassar College, 1917. One of the most popular poets of her era, Millay was admired as much for the bohemian freedom of her youthful lifestyle as for her verse. During the early 1920s she lived in Greenwich Village, New York City, and wrote satiric sketches for Vanity Fair under the pseudonym Nancy Boyd. Among her friends were Edmund Wilson and John Peale Bishop. Renascence, Millay's first volume of poetry, appeared in 1917 and was praised for its freshness and vitality. It was followed by A Few Figs from Thistles Second April (1921), and The Ballad of the Harp Weaver (1922; Pulitzer Prize). She was a member of the Provincetown Players , a group that produced several of her verse dramas, including Aria da Capo (1920) and Two Slatterns and a King Fatal Interview (1931), a superb sonnet cycle; Conversation at Midnight (1937); and Make Bright the Arrows (1940). She also wrote the libretto for Deems Taylor's opera The King's Henchman (1927) and, with George Dillon, she translated Baudelaire's

Millay was best known for inciting the flames of youthful rebellion in the post-World War I social and literary movement based in Greenwich Village, where she played an active role. Millay's talents appeared early, and one of her poems appeared in St. Nicholas, and she delivered a verse essay at high school graduation. A wealthy friend, impressed with Millay's talent, helped her attend Vassar. After graduating in 1917, she settled in Greenwich Village and supported herself by writing. That year Millay published her first book of poems, Renascence, titled for the lead poem, which she had first published in The Lyric Year in 1912 when she was 19. Millay's first book of poems enjoyed a great success and established her as a serious and important poet.

    Extractions: Edna St. Vincent Millay was a lyrical poet and playwright of the early 20th century. Millay, called "Vincent" in her growing-up years, spent her early life in a single-parent family with her mother and sisters. The family was a cultured one, immersed in music and literature, and Millay was an accomplished writer at an early age. One of her most famous poems, "Renascence," won an award and publication in a literary contest before she even began college. Millay's college years, funded by a scholarship at the all-women's Vassar, produced the book The Harp Weaver and Other Poems for which she won a Pulitzer prize in 1922. Edna St. Vincent Millay is known for the feminism and sexual openness expressed in many of her poems. She was married in 1923 to Eugen Boissevain, a feminist himself, but the marriage was an open one. Throughout her life, Millay carried on affectionate correspondences with both men and women. Millay died in 1950 of heart failure. Related Web sites:

    Extractions: Latest News In her lifetime Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) was renowned for her traditional poetic and her bohemian living. She infused conventional forms with a fervent contemporary spirit. The publication in 1912 of the poem "Renascence" won her instant acclaim. Early in her career Millay wrote fiction under the pseudonym of Nancy Boyd; later she wrote several plays and an opera libretto. In 1923 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry and in the 1930s she published sonnets that have earned a lasting place as exemplars of the form. In later years she applied her art to the Allied war effort and other social causes. Edmund Wilson deemed Millay "a spokesman for the human spirit"; few writers have commanded so wide and enduring an audience. From 1923 to her death, Millay lived with her husband in Austerlitz, New York, at their farmhouse at Steepletop, now a National Historic Landmark.
