Overview

The life and works of Edna St. Vincent Millay present a challenging study in contrasts, effectively introduced in this title in the ""Poetry for Young People"" series. Joyous odes form a contrast to pensive, brooding poems, sometimes intertwining. A considered introduction offers a substantial overview of the poet's life, which will help readers understand this remarkable writer. While her poems are complex enough for older readers and are accompanied with commentary, younger ones will enjoy hearing them read aloud and taking in the luminous and elegant illustrations.
