Vincent Millay marks some of the best of the early 20th century.
Noted for its lyrical beauty and at times controversial depiction of female sexuality, the poetry of Edna St. Edna would go on to win the highest prize for poetry, the 1923 Pulitzer Prize, for her work "The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver".
Edna would first gain recognition when her 1912 poem "Renascence" garnered a fourth place prize in a poetry contest for "The Lyric Year". It was here that Edna would write some of her first lines of poetry. The family would finally settle in a small house on the property of Cora's aunt in Camden, Maine. Her mother Cora, who was separated for many years from, and finally divorced in 1904, her father Henry Tolman Millay, moved Edna and her two sisters constantly from town to town during their upbringing. Vincent Millay's childhood was a life of transient poverty.
