More than 180 sonnets selected from Millay's books of poems—including 20 sonnets from Mine the Harvest not contained in previous editions of her Collected Sonnets—are brought together in this new, expanded edition. An introduction by Norma Millay, written expressly for this volume, focuses on examples of the poet's variations in sonnet structure. Here is the voice of Millay, whose prophetic vision, devotion to freedom, and intellectual daring combine with her mastery of the sonnet form to speak eloquently for the human spirit.

Edna St. Vincent Millay was an American lyrical poet and playwright. She received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1923, the third woman to win the award for poetry, and was also known for her feminist activism and her many love affairs. She used the pseudonym Nancy Boyd for her prose work. This famous portrait of Vincent (as she was called by friends) was taken by Carl Van Vechten in 1933.
