    Poet and playwright Edna St. Vincent Millay was born in Rockland, Maine, on February 22, 1892. Her mother, Cora, raised her three daughters on her own after asking her husband to leave the family home in 1899. Cora encouraged her girls to be ambitious and self-sufficient, teaching them an appreciation of music and literature from an early age. In 1912, at her mother's urging, Millay entered her poem "Renascence" into a contest: she won fourth place and publication in The Lyric Year , bringing her immediate acclaim and a scholarship to Vassar. There, she continued to write poetry and became involved in the theater. She also developed intimate relationships with several women while in school, including the English actress Wynne Matthison. In 1917, the year of her graduation, Millay published her first book

      Millay was born in Rockland, Maine to Cora Lounella, a nurse, and Henry Tollman Millay, a schoolteacher who would later become superintendent of schools. Her middle name derives from St. Vincent's Hospital in New York , where her uncle's life had been saved just prior to her birth. The house was "between the mountains and the sea where baskets of apples and drying herbs on the porch mingled their scents with those of the neighboring pine woods." In 1904, Cora officially divorced Millay's father for financial irresponsibility, but they had been separated for some years prior. Struggling financially, Cora and her three daughters, Edna (who called herself "Vincent"), Norma, and Kathleen, moved from town to town, living in poverty. Cora traveled with a trunk full of classic literature, including

    Edna St. Vincent Millay
    Edna St. Vincent Millay, twentieth-century poet and playwright, was best known for her lyrical poetry. She wrote many poems in traditional sonnet form, on topics such as love, fidelity, erotic desire, and feminist issues. What isn't as widely publicized is that she also acknowledged herself as bisexual and had many affairs with women before her marriage. It's not clear if she continued sexual involvements with women after marriage (though it is quite possible), nor is it clear which of her poems are written about women rather than men. She grew up in a different sort of familypast the age of seven, her father wasn't present, as her mother (Cora) asked him to leave. Cora was a nurse who encouraged Millay (called Vincent by her close friends) and her sisters in musical and literary pursuits. Millay was brought up to be self-sufficient and was taught that ambition was good, an upbringing reflected in her accomplishments of later years. At her mother's encouragement, Millay entered her poem "Renascence" into a poetry contest and won fourth placed. When the poem was published, she gained literary recognition and earned a scholarship to Vassar. At Vassar, she continued to write poetry and became involved in theater. In 1922 one of her plays

    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892 - 1950)
    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.

    Her mother, single and divorced, raised Edna and her sisters. Inheriting a tendency toward poetry and singing from her mother, she gained experience reciting poems on a table top at Kalloch Reunions. Her wonderful poetry is grounded in the Knox Co., Maine landscape and Edna returned often for the summer. In 1923 she became the first woman to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize, and in 1981 she was commemorated with a U.S. postage stamp About Edna St. Vincent Millay , by Elinor Collemer Johnson, from the 1999 Kalloch Newsletter.

    Second April
    by Edna St.Vincent Millay
    (Selected Poems)
      Spring
        T O what purpose, April, do you return again?
        Beauty is not enough.
        You can no longer quiet me with the redness
        Of little leaves opening stickily.
        I know what I know.
        The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
        The spikes of the crocus.
        The smell of the earth is good.
        It is apparent that there is no death.
        But what does that signify?
        Not only under ground are the brains of men
        Eaten by maggots.
        Life in itself
        Is nothing,
        An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs.
        It is not enough that yearly, down this hill,
        April
        Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.
        Edna St. Vincent Millay
      City Trees
        T HE trees along this city street
        Save for the traffic and the trains,
        Would make a sound as thin and sweet
        As trees in country lanes.
        And people standing in their shade
        Out of a shower, undoubtedly
        Would hear such music as is made
        Upon a country tree.
        Oh, little leaves that are so dumb
        Against the shrieking city air,
        I watch you when the wind has come,
        I know what sound is there.

    Millay, Edna St. Vincent
    View: Edna St Vincent Millay Poems 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.

    Was three long mountains and a wood; I turned and looked another way, And saw three islands in a bay.
