The title work was a tribute to her selfless and encouraging mother. Millay's unconventional life in Greenwich Village in the 1920s embodied the spirit of the New Woman - sexual freedom, independence, and political activism. Well, I have lost you; and I lost you fairly In my own way, and with my full consent. If I had loved you less or played you slyly I might have held you a summer more, But at the cost of words I value highly ... (from 'Sonnet XLVII', in Fatal Interview Edna St. Vincent Millay was born in Rockland, Maine, the daughter of Henry Tolman Millay, a school principal, and Cora Lounella (Buzzelle) Millay. (Millay's middle name derived from the French priest St. Vincent de Paul.) Her father had a weakness for poker playing, and although he deserted his family, Millay kept contact with him. After divorce in 1900, Cora Millay moved with her three daughters, Edna, Norma, and Kathleen, to Camden, into a small house in the poorest part of the town. To support her family she worked as a district nurse and was often away on assignment. Trained to be a singer, she coached town orchestras and wrote out scores for their members. She also encouraged her daughters in their musical and poetic ambitions, and taught Edna to write poetry at the age of five.

HOME ABOUT THE INN INTRODUCTION WHY STAY WITH US? ... RESERVE Edna St. Vincent Millay, one of America's greatest poets, grew up in Camden, Maine. Her sister Norma worked in the Whitehall Inn dining room. At the end of every season, the mostly long-term guests invited staff to a party in the employee's honor, a masquerade ball in 1912. Norma brought along Edna, who entertained the guests and staff with her singing and playing the Steinway piano that is still in the inn lobby. Her friends prompted her to recite a poem for the first time in public, and her reading of the poem "Renascence" enthralled everyone. The poem was written atop Mt. Battie, just above the back side of our inn. One well-heeled guest arranged for Millay to get a scholarship to Vassar College and introduced her to literary people in New York, the launching pad for Millay's meteoric rise as poet and playwright. After Millay's death in 1950, hundreds of people, including celebrities, crowded into the Whitehall Inn to dedicate a room in the poet's honor. That room in the inn where Millay was discovered (pictured above), including a grand piano on which she also performed, provides a glimpse into the life and writings of the accomplished writer Renascence Edna St. Vincent Millay

And when I awoke,� There sat my mother With the harp against her shoulder Looking nineteen And not a day older, A smile about her lips, And a light about her head, And her hands in the harp-strings Frozen dead.

Millay, Edna St. Vincent From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Edmund Spenser) Next (Edo period) Edna St. Vincent Millay, photographed by Carl Van Vechten, 1933 Edna St. Vincent Millay (February 22, 1892 – October 19, 1950) was a lyrical poet and playwright and the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. During her own time, Millay was almost as famous for her unusual, Bohemian lifestyle and opinions on social matters as she was for her actual poetry. During much of her career she lived the life of a minor celebrity. In time, however, critical estimation of her poetry has caught up with her celebrity, and in recent decades it has become increasingly clear just how important Millay is for the history of early twentieth-century American literature. Millay lived and wrote during the early decades of the twentieth-century, a period in which the literary Modernism of T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound dominated American poetry. Millay, however, was a distinctly un-Modern poet whose works have much more in common wiht those of Robert Frost or Thomas Hardy ; her poetry is always formal, masterfully written to the strictures of rhyme and meter. During her times a number of poets and critics argued fiercely over the form poetry should take in the rapidly changing times of the twentieth-century; Millay, for her part, was not particularly vocal in these debates, because her works speak for themselves. Millay proved that the old forms could retain their validity in a changing world. Her sonnets are often considered to be the finest written in the twentieth-century, and her short, lyrical poems are unrivaled for their elegance and musicality. Millay's influence extends to a number of poets of the latter twentieth-century

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, her first volume of poetry, appeared in 1917 and was praised for its freshness and vitality.
