Alongside Robert Frost, T.S. Eliot, Marianne Moore, and E. E.

She infused new life into traditional poetic forms, bringing hope to a generation of youth disillusioned by the political and social upheaval of the First World War. She ventured fearlessly beyond familiar poetic subjects to tackle political injustice, social discrimination, and feminist themes like women's sexuality in her poems and prose.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYet this collection of classic American poetry is still decisively modern in its message, and it continues to resonate with readers facing personal and moral issues that defy the test of time: romantic love, loss, betrayal, compassion for one another, social equality, patriotism, and the stewardship of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis invaluable compendium of her work is not only an essential addition to any collection of the world's most moving and memorable poetry but an unprecedented look into the life of Millay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMy candle burns at both ends;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e  It will not last the night;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e  It gives a lovely light!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"First Fig\" from \u003ci\u003eA Few Figs from Thistles\u003c\/i\u003e (1920)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePulitzer Prize-Winning Poetry:\u003c\/b\u003e Discover the work that earned Millay the Pulitzer Prize in 1923, cementing her place alongside titans of American literature like Robert Frost and T.S.
