Cover of Collected Sonnets

Collected Sonnets

More than 180 sonnets selected from Millay's books of poems — including 20 sonnets from Mine the Harvestnot contained in previous editions of her Collected Sonnets— are brought together in this new, expanded edition. An introduction by Norma Millay, written expressly for this volume, focuses on examples of the poet's variations in sonnet structure. Here is the voice of Millay, whose prophetic vision, devotion to freedom, and intellectual daring combine with her mastery of the sonnet form to speak eloquently for the human spirit.
