Edna St Vincent Millay

Edna St Vincent Millay (1892-1950)

Edna St. Vincent Millay (February 22, 1892 - October 19, 1950) was an American lyrical poet, playwright and feminist. She was the second woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, and was known for her activism and her many love affairs. She used the pseudonym Nancy Boyd for her prose work. Poet Richard Wilbur asserts: "She wrote some of the best sonnets of the century."
