J. D. McClatchy's introduction and selections offer new and surprising insights into Millay's achievement.   Included are her most beloved and justly admired poems, such as the wry bohemian anthem “Recuerdo” and the sonnet sequence “Fatal Interview”, the poetic record of a love affair that is presented in its entirety. McClatchy has also chosen works that extend our sense of Millay’s range: translations, her play Aria da Capo, and excerpts from her libretto The King’s Henchman.   “I have for the most part been guided by my taste for Millay at her tautest and truest," writes McClatchy.
