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.

Print or Buy my poetry? View comments Add to favorites? 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 theatre. She performed in numerous plays and wrote a Halloween play for her classmates to act out.

    http://www.powys-lannion.net/Powys/America/Millay.htm
    
    Extractions: Edna St Vincent Millay was a poet who was highly appreciated in the first half of the century. Renascence and Other Poems was written in 1917, while she was still at Vassar. The second volume of poems, A Few Figs from Thistles (1920) established her as a poet and showed her rebellion against the moral standards of her time. Her third volume The Harp-Weaver and Other Poems received the Pulitzer Prize in 1923. Her later work showed political and social awareness. She enlisted, for instance, in the Sacco and Vanzetti case, and she took part in mass meetings held to call attention to a cruel denial of justice. She is mentioned in the Autobiography with her husband Eugene Boissevain as 'two princely creatures' 'who exercise a diverse, and yet in some mysterious way a kindred enchantment', but, as John Cowper remarks, they were closer friends to Llewelyn Powys and to Arthur Ficke than to him. The theme of all her poetry is the search for the integrity of the individual spirit... Her unique effort was to perform the miracle of creation in reverse. The universe already made pressed its weight on the sensibility, the aptitude for awareness, of one individual: "Infinity/ Came down and settled over me..." ( Edna St. Vincent Millay

    Extractions: Steepletop, a two-story white clapboard house, was the country home of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay for 25 years and in many ways forms a striking memorial to her life. Millay's writing career began in childhood and attracted public attention in 1911 with the publication of "Renascence," a work which drew wide admiration and critical praise. She graduated from Vassar, became active in women's rights issues and incorporated activist themes into several of her poems and plays. Millay was awarded the 1923 Pulitzer Prize for The Harp Weaver and Other Poems, the work which best represents her romantic and dramatic emotional style. In 1925, Millay and her husband, Eugene Boissevain, purchased a berry farm in upstate New York, which they renamed "Steepletop" after the wildflowers that grew in nearby fields. Steepletop sheltered Millay from the outside world, and she composed many works there, including the libretto for the opera, The King's Henchman
