… Book Review: "The Selected Poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay" Introduced By Olivia Gatwood. (Hat tip, Rus Bowden.)

Despite having such a firm grasp on conveying sadness, Millay doesn't abandon the hope that can always be found within nature. "Afternoon on a Hill" has a childlike sense of wonder and a tranquil undertone that caused me to desire such a hill to sit on for myself. With the stresses of life and the ever-present notifications, I suggest we all follow the likes of Millay and find a place outside to simply watch "with quiet eyes."
