TLS from Edna St Vincent Millay dated July 14, 1937 from Austerlitz , New York. Millay writes about the receipt of a Glass pitcher from a Mr. John Zerega and that it was thoughtfully of him to send it. She says she instantly knew that the pitcher represented two of her well-known poems., "The Buck in the Snow and 'The Fawn". Interesting letter referring to two of her popular poems.
Her career as a poet was meteoric. In 1923 she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in poetry. She became a performance artist super-star, reading her poetry to rapt audiences across the country.
Edna St. Vincent Millay (February 22, 1892 – October 19, 1950) was an American lyrical poet and playwright.
Encouraged to read the classics at home, she was too rebellious to make a success of formal education, but she won poetry prizes from an early age, including the Pulitzer Prize in 1923, and went on to use verse as a medium for her feminist activism. She also wrote verse-dramas and a highly-praised opera, The King's Henchman. Her novels appeared under the name Nancy Boyd, and she refused lucrative offers to publish them under her own name.
