Summary:
Beautifully illustrated collection of Edna St. Vincent Millay's poetry. The volume also includes a sketch of the poet's life.

Teaching Ideas:
The poems could be a springboard for discussion and writing topics. For example, "Departure" would raise the issue of growing up, independence, and family. "Men Working" is perfect to discuss the world of work using poetic ideals. "The Bean Stalk" gives us a look at determination and growing. The poems are written simply and could be used for ESOL classes.
