I wasn't all that much of a fan honestly, and had to push myself through the second half of this one which surprised me. But I've been on a massive kick of reading poetry pieces since Sara's books last week. Maybe something more next week. ( )

This slim book is Millay’s second collection of poems. It has two sections; the first contains 19 brief poems, the second four thematically-related sonnets. The unity of theme extends to the poem in the first section as well. Taken together, they depict the persona of a young woman confident of her power to attract and abashed in her determination to sample life to the full. At the same time, the much-quoted four-liner that opens the collection—the first “fig”—makes clear that she is aware that such a life comes only with a cost.
In their own way, these poems are as impressive as those in her first collection, Renascence, although generally more playful and assertive. They brightened a train ride on a cold, gray day. ( )

This small book features some of Millay's early poetry. As with most collections, the poetry appeal varies from poem to poem. This collection, originally published in 1920, was expanded when republished in 1922. The "figs" were a couple of very short poems. I enjoyed the poems from the day when rhyme mattered. ( )

The poem I focused on from A Few Figs From Thistles is "The Unexplorer" (p 24). It is an incredibly short poem about a little girl who asks her mother where the road by their house leads. The mother replies it ends at the milk-man's door. For some reason that information suddenly ends the little girl's desire to go down the road. I am of a darker mind when I think the little girl is afraid of the milk-man and doesn't want to run into him when really it could be she thinks the milk-man's front door is not an exciting enough destination. So she has put it out of her mind. She is no longer curious. That's the thing about poetry. It is ambiguous enough that it could mean anything you want it to. ( )

This is one of the collections that earned a Pulitzer for Millay. The poems are infused with the passion of youth. They express a sense of restlessness, and a desire to live a life more full than the average woman's of her day. Whether or not it's what Millay intended, the message I took from these poems is “carpe diem.” ( )
