Quarter bound in publisher's black cloth over blue paper boards paper label on spine blue and black title page. During winter and spring of 1936 Millay worked on Conversation at Midnight which she had been planning for several years. But soon after reaching a hotel on Sanibel Island Florida she saw the building in flames and knew her manuscript had been destroyed. Upon her return to her home at Steepletop she began to call up the material from memory and write it down. Other misfortunes followed. "A sequence of poems that gives daring and provocative expression in dialogue to the thought of our times." Conversation at Midnight is a work of dramatic verse that falls somewhere in the space between a narrative poem and a theatrical drama. The text features the conversations of seven distinguished men who are having after-dinner discussions in a comfortable dining room in New York City. Although the text uses only a minimal amount of descriptive narrative Millay structured Conversations at Midnight to "create the illusion of actual conversation which often abruptly abandons one topic to take up another" and encourages her readers to think of the work as ".dialogue throughout to think of it in terms of a play.".

192725246NY and London: Harper & Brothers. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1927. 1st Edition. Fourth Printing. Hard Cover. First Edition Fourth Printing Harper first edition code "E-B" - May 1927 - on copyright page. Half buckram over blue paper-covered boards paper label on spine fore-edge deckle. 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. .
