Jenifer Kay Hood has been described as "the foremost living interpreter of Edna St. Vincent Millay" by The Advocate. In addition to the usual slew of biographies, letters and journals, Young Vincent benefits from Hood's first hand interviews with Millay's sister Norma, childhood friends, college chums and former lovers. She holds a master's degree in American Literature of the 20th Century and is an award winning writer. Hood believes English is too rich a language to limit it to two syllables. Her one-woman show on Millay was performed across the country and was featured on PBS in 1987.
