The first publication of Edna St. Vincent Millay's private, intimate diaries, providing "a candid self-portrait of the 'bad girl of American letters'" (Kirkus Reviews)
The world-famous American poet Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) was also a devoted daughter, sister, friend, and wife, a public heroine, and finally a solitary, tragic figure. This is the first publication of the diaries she kept from adolescence until middle age, illuminating the peak years of an American genius.
