Description from the flap: "Freshness and vitality, a poignant understanding of the human heart in love, distinguish this new volume of sonnets by one of America's most popular and most distinguished poets. Extraordinary richness of emotion, a depth of thought and feeling place it among the finest collections in modern English poetry. The reader feels that here is an unconquerable personality, a heart which faces life with an untiring eagerness to taste all of its sorrows and all of its joys. In this sonnet sequence Miss Millay demonstrates her mastery of rhyme and rhythm, bringing to the classic form a color and a splendor all her own. This is a book which no lover of poetry should miss."
