Antología poética

Edna St. Vincent Millay is one of the most fascinating and least known American writers of the 20th century. Belonging to the generation of TS Eliot and Wallace Stevens, her feminist militancy and radical independence caused her work to be slow to spread, despite having won the Pulitzer Prize for her "Ballad of the Harp Spinner", having a personality overwhelming and to gather crowds in her readings and controversial public appearances, which made her a precursor of a new way of being a woman. She was never afraid to proclaim her political ideas and propose innovative ways of expressing the female experience. Millay wrote librettos for opera, theater and prose, but she is noted above all for her extraordinarily virtuous poetry - she is the author, with Robert Frost, of some of the best twentieth-century sonnets in English. Although linked to the Anglo-Saxon avant-garde, her unique voice is capable of singing beauty like an emotional poet and composing satirical and provocative poems at the same time. Lumen presents the most complete anthology in Castilian of her poetic work, in a magnificent edition and translation by Ana Mata Buil.
