Woodcut frontispiece by Cimino. Throughout much of her career Pulitzer Prize-winner Edna St. Vincent Millay 1892-1950 was one of the most successful and respected poets in America. She is noted for both her dramatic works including "Aria da capo" "The Lamp and the Bell" and the libretto composed for an opera "The Kings Henchman" and for such lyric verses as Renascence and the poems found in the collections A Few Figs From Thistles Second April and The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1923. Like her contemporary Robert Frost Millay was one of the most skillful writers of sonnets in the twentieth century and also like Frost she was able to combine modernist attitudes with traditional forms creating a unique American poetry. But Millays popularity as a poet had at least as much to do with her person: she was known for her riveting readings and performances her progressive political stances frank portrayal of both hetero and homosexuality and above all her embodiment and description of new kinds of female experience and expression. Edna St. Vincent Millay notes her biographer Nancy Milford became the herald of the New Woman. Harry Cimino 1898-1969 was an American wood engraver and illustrator. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and at the Art Students League New York. During the 1920's publishers frequently commissioned Cimino to contribute his wood engravings to illustrate such books as "Gifts of Fortune" "Sutter's Gold" "The King's Henchmen" "The Perilous Isle" "Tarboe" "The Harp Weaver" and "Gallion's Reach." He was also extensively employed by the Marchbanks Company to execute some of its most striking calendar designs. Today his wood engravings are included in such major collections as the Smithsonian American Art Museum. .
