Read my review here! #nancymilford #savagebeauty
Just keep reading... reading... reading...
So, I'm still reading Savage Beauty, a biography of Edna St. Vincent Millay. I have been a little wayleighed by all the awesome books that I've added to my library recently. I already owe fines at my library on this. You know how I roll. As I work my way through the life of this genius woman, I figured I'd share with you one of the plaques I found in The Mayflower Inn's American Poet's Garden. Yeah, yeah, yeah Vincent... I get it. If I could manage to stay awake past 10pm
She is happy where she lies...
... with the dust upon her eyes. For the Black, White & Read Challenge, I am currently reading a fascinating biography about Edna St. Vincent Millay (Savage Beauty by Nancy Milford... highly recommended). I know very little about Millay so I decided to Do the Google. And came across this... published 50 years ago YESTERDAY in The New York Times! Obituaries were waaaaaay more interesting in the 50s! Edna St. V. Millay Found Dead At 58 Special to THE NEW YORK TIMES AUSTERLITZ
