Description

Millay discusses her thoughts on poetry, including a love for poetry in three different ways -- intellectually, spiritually, and sensually -- identifying her inspirations in each category. She explains this "is the same as to say, I am one part brain, one part soul, and three parts flesh and blood." She also shares a bit more about her ongoing correspondence with the editor of The Lyric Year.
