Collected Sonnets
Collected Sonnets | Edna St. Vincent Millay
14 posts | 7 read | 7 to read
More than 180 sonnets selected from Millay's books of poems -- including 20 sonnets from Mine the Harvest not contained in previous editions of her Collected Sonnets -- are brought together in this new, expanded edition. An introduction by Norma Millay, written expressly for this volume, focuses on examples of the poet's variations in sonnet structure. Here is the voice of Millay, whose prophetic vision, devotion to freedom, and intellectual daring combine with her mastery of the sonnet form to speak eloquently for the human spirit.

I found Millay upstairs with the books. I think she was trying to decide what to read. 🐾📚❤️ #catsoflitsy

Dolly She‘s probably wondering “What good are these? I can‘t even scratch on them.” 6y
Rachellynnwright Millay is so boss, she‘s saying “Welcome to my book kingdom” 6y

"I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes."

Happy Birthday to Edna St. Vincent Millay, writer, Mainer, redhead, cat namesake.
