Edna St. Vincent Millay
"I think my feelings right now could be summarized from a quote from the made for TV movie: The House Without a Christmas Tree..." ("Mary Catherine Gallagher Christmas"). Just as Mary Katherine Gallagher, a character from the popular television show Saturday Night Live, has mastered expressing her feelings through words, so has the famous poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay. Her expert skill over the words of the English language was far superior to most others'. It was this dominance that led Edna St. Vincent Millay to be so excellent at conveying her thoughts, feelings, and beliefs through the medium of language. As a result, she was very influential not only to her readers, but also to writers. Overall, Millay's poetry had a huge effect on so many people and groups solely because of her ability to control, with simplicity, the messages she gave when she wrote. In the New York Times Book Review on March 15, 1992, Liz Rosenberg commented on a new compilation of old Millay poems. In general, Rosenberg seemed to enjoy most of Millay's works. She found that there are beliefs of feminism, anti-fascism, and social justice scattered all across the stanzas. This article also communicates to the reader that the simplicity of Millay
Perhaps it is her inner child displayed through her playful words such as "Wonder where the horseshoe went. This furthers the idea of Millay being able to use words so effectively. By the time one of her final books was released many criticized her. Her poetry "was praised for its freshness and vitality. She violated the standard form of poetry perhaps in an effort to display her sadness and anger. Vincent Millay, today's poetry would be a great deal different. From all the poems in the book a reader can pick up a different emotion and a whole new world of ideas.
