The collection opens with Renascence, the long poem in which a speaker bounded by three mountains and a wood feels the infinite press down, sinks into the earth and rises again to the world reborn. Shorter lyrics follow, among them God’s World, Afternoon on a Hill, Ashes of Life and The Little Ghost.
Millay’s early voice at its freshest, for anyone who knows only her sonnets or her famous candle burning at both ends. Download the free EPUB.
