Edna St. Vincent Millay
1892 - 1950
Her mother, single and divorced, raised Edna and her sisters. Inheriting a tendency toward poetry and singing from her mother, she gained experience reciting poems on a table top at Kalloch Reunions. Her wonderful poetry is grounded in the Knox Co., Maine landscape and Edna returned often for the summer. In 1923 she became the first woman to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize, and in 1981 she was commemorated with a U.S. postage stamp.
