Young Vincent is about far more than a poet's early life. It is about growing up poor with a single mom. It is about fighting gossip. It is about love and sexual awakening. In short, this true story is all about self-discovery and fending for one's self.

When Edna St. Vincent Millay was born women couldn't vote, have a bank account, get a loan, or express their feelings. Millay changed all that with bold poetry that broke new ground in the American literary world.

Young Vincent is about the price you pay to achieve your dreams.

Welcome to the Young Vincent Book Club! A space for us to connect and share all things literary with each other. The club obviously starts with the narrative nonfiction work Young Vincent, but over time it will include thoughts and feeling on other works about famous and not so famous women writers. Start by posting your thoughts or sharing a favorite poem--even if it's your own.
