By	Richard H. Siegel (Lake Buel, Great Barrington, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Early Poems (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) (Paperback)

A very fine presentation of the early work of Edna St. Vincent Millay, one of our finest American poets. I find her work to
be in a class of its own, reaching out to the human spirit.

The presentation in this book of her first three published works really exposes the reader to Millay at the top of her form.

For me, the notes and commentary of Editor Holly Peppe helped greatly. Dr. Peppe's analysis is extremely readable and shows
a wonderful understanding of her subject. In her introduction
Holly Peppe gives an excellent overview of Ms. Millay's life as well as her art. And I found her notes in this book on Millay's
writing to be interesting and insightful. HIGHLY recommended!
