Maine Arts Commission says hiring head of its board, though unusual, is the right move at a crucial time

For Subscribers Maine Arts Commission says hiring head of its board, though unusual, is the right move at a crucial time David Greenham will step down from the board to begin a two-year term as the interim executive director.

Edna St Vincent Millay: Balancing Grief & Renewal | Academy of American Poets

Celebrate the 129 th birthday of Pulitzer Prize poet Edna St. Vincent Millay with Maine poets reading letters and poems that focus on Millay’s exploration of loss and renewal. Poets will also read their own poems in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, personal loss, and the threat of global climate change.  A hundred years ago, Millay began writing “Renascence” in 1911 when she was nineteen and caring for her ailing father in Kingman, Maine. “Renascence,” which moves between life and death and ends with a sense of hope and revival, was the first poem to catapult Millay to stardom, winning fourth place in The Lyric Year anthology in 1912. This year’s annual birthday reading will focus on Millay’s poems that mediate a balance between grief and renewal of hope, such as those from her third collection, Second Spring, that includes an elegy for Millay’s Vassar classmate who died from the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918.
