description: An incendiary cocktail of literary ambition, fame, sexual adventure and addiction.<br /><i>Newsweek</i><br /><br />Perfectly outstanding...Milfords biography takes the whole of Millays heaving, grieving, ecstatic life into account in a way that is almost loving, always respectful, even when blunt truth and candor are necessary....Masterful.<br />Kaye Gibbons, <i>The Atlanta Journal-Constitution</i><br /><br />Original and spellbinding.<br />Lorrie Moore, <i>The New York Review of Books</i><br /><br /><b>Savage Beauty</b> is irresistible.<br />Amanda Foreman<br /><br />One seldom sees this level of brilliant, hands-on research in contemporary literary biography. The result is this compelling, keenly perceptive life of Edna St. Vincent Millaywith its own savage beauty.<br />Toni Morrison <br /><br />Riveting and revealing...<b>Savage Beauty</b> sweeps before it all previous biographies of Millay, which by contrast seem uninformed and too discreet.<br />J. D. McClatchy, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i>
