Read with #SundayBuddyRead I had heard of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay & was familiar with a few of her more famous poems but through this memoir/biography created from her journals , I was able to learn about her life. From the mundane moments to her popularity & celebrity of her times, we get glimpses of her daily life & the world around her. While not always extremely likable, she was a talented force of nature.
pickI started this book not knowing anything about Millay, with a very fleeting knowledge of her work. Her diary entries are filled with joys and criticisms, some very mean spirited and cruel, as well as a vulnerable soul who fought demons and ill health. A great look at her life. A good choice for #SundayBuddyRead .

Sharing another great poem from the tagged book. I love that her poetry is accessible.

pick"We gotta keep each other alive any way we can 'cause nobody else is going' to do it."
I don't know how to describe this book. It centers a group of gays in a commune, Larry Mitchell modeled the book off his own life . There are pearls of wisdom throughout, many gorgeous quotable lines. I love how he loves women and their wisdom, this was told between the Stonewall riots and the beginning of AIDS with a focus on revolution.
"The strong women told the faggots that there are two important things to remember about the coming revolutions. The first is that we will get our asses kicked. The second is that we will win"

I got this copy from the library, but I am ordering one so I can cut this page out and frame it.
