Starting off Season 2 of Queer Poets Society, Mars Tarassenko reads from the Collected Poems of Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950), a Pulitzer Prize winning poet who ventured fearlessly beyond familiar poetic subjects to tackle political injustice, social discrimination, and women’s sexuality in her poems and prose. Featured poems include “Short Song”, “Renascence”, and What thing is this that, built of salt and lime.
