What Lips My Lips Have Kissed Paperback - 2002

by Daniel Mark Epstein

Using letters, diaries, and journals of Edna St. Vincent Millay and her lovers that have only recently become available, Epstein tells the astonishing story of the life, dedicated to art and love, that inspired the poet's sublime lyrics. 8-page insert.


From the publisher

This is the story of a rare sort of American genius, who grew up in grinding poverty in Camden, Maine. Nothing could save the sensitive child but her talent for words, music, and drama, and an inexorable desire to be loved. When she was twenty, her poetry would make her famous; at thirty she would be loved by readers the world over. Edna St. Vincent Millay was widely considered to be the most seductive woman of her age. Few men could resist her, and many women also fell under her spell. From the publication of her first poems until the scandal over Fatal Interview twenty years later, gossip about the poet's liberated lifestyle prompted speculation about who might be the real subject of her verses. Using letters, diaries, and journals of the poet and her lovers that have only recently become available, Daniel Mark Epstein tells the astonishing story of the life, dedicated to art and love, that inspired the sublime lyrics of Edna St. Vincent Millay.

First line

In the town of Camden, Maine, at midnight of October 3, 1911, in the lower tenement of a clapboard house on Chestnut Street overlooking the harbor, a girl was absorbed in a curious ritual.
