Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) is my favorite American woman poet. She won a Pulitzer in 1923. My favorite poem is “The Ballad of the Harp Weaver.” (April is National Poetry Month)

“Son,” said my mother,

   When I was knee-high,

“You’ve need of clothes to cover you,

   And not a rag have I.
