Her long poem \"Renascence\" won critical attention in an anthology contest in 1912 and secured for her a patron who enabled her to go to Vassar College. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter graduating in 1917 she lived in Greenwich Village in New York for a few years, acting, writing satirical pieces for journals (usually under a pseudonym), and continuing to work at her poetry. She traveled in Europe throughout 1921-22 as a \"foreign correspondent\" for \u003cem\u003eVanity Fair.\u003c\/em\u003e Her collection \u003cem\u003eA Few Figs from Thistles\u003c\/em\u003e (1920) gained her a reputation for hedonistic wit and cynicism, but her other collections (including the earlier \u003cem\u003eRenascence and Other Poems\u003c\/em\u003e [1917]) are without exception more seriously passionate or reflective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1923 she married Eugene Boissevain and -- after further travel -- embarked on a series of reading tours which helped to consolidate her nationwide renown. From 1925 onwards she lived at Steepletop, a farmstead in Austerlitz, New York, where her husband protected her from all responsibilities except her creative work. Often involved in feminist or political causes (including the Sacco-Vanzetti case of 1927), she turned to writing anti-fascist propaganda poetry in 1940 and further damaged a reputation already in decline. In her last years of her life she became more withdrawn and isolated, and her health, which had never been robust, became increasingly poor. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe died in 1950.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43110582747251,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":21.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_0b8ff72c-2bfb-4a69-a643-aa237b45eb15.jpg?v=1748980359","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/collected-lyrics-of-edna-st-vincent-millay-9780060908638","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
