What is it with New York writers who garden in the nude?
The Washington Post has a piece on Steepletop, which was Millay’s home in New York. After ESVM’s tragic fall down the stairs in the 50s, her house was lived in — yet left as a shrine — by Millay’s sister. A newspaper from the day of her death still sits on a table. Her makeup still sits on the vanity. The clothes were only recently removed and placed into storage.
This is the second Post article this week on poets and poetry. Is someone new in charge at the Post’s style section? I love the attention on poetry, folks.
You can read a review of Stan Plumly’s POSTHUMOUS KEATS by Ted Genoways of Virginia Quarterly Review. More recently, the Post published an interview with Plumly about the book, but I can’t find the article on the website. If you find it, please post it in the comments.
