Edna St. Vincent Millay was a fascinating and mercurial individual, and her poetry reflects that. Though occasionally tending toward the maudlin, her verses contain a lot of sharp wit, biting angst, dark humor, and even, occasionally, a ray of hope. This is the perfect collection to brood with on a stormy day or when nursing a broken heart.

Would have given it 4 stars if not for “To S.M.” That poem is breathtaking. She was incredible!

The first era of poems are so easy to understand yet still intellectually vital. I think as I get older I would like to reread the later ones. Perhaps also the later ones would be best consumed one at a time, not gluttonously in a collection.
