Often considered her best work, and one of the best-known American
poems, the long poem "Renascence" is credited with introducing Edna St.
Vincent Millay to a the broader world. Celebrated for their lyrical
transcendence, Millay's poems convey fiery romance and an invigorating
spirit that are hallmarks of her writing. Published as the inaugural
title in Down East Books Maine Standards series, this volume brings the
classic "Renascence" and two dozen other poems back to contemporary
readers.
