SUMMARY:EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY  IN AUSTERLITZ
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 5\, at 2pm\nPresented by –Tim Hawley and Krystyna Poray Goddu \nFree Educational Talk at Old Austerlitz Church\n\nTo celebrate the 100th anniversary of Edna St. Vincent Millay’s arrival at Steepletop\, her home in Austerlitz from 1925 until her death in 1950\, the AHS will present a program on Millay in Austerlitz. Drawing on Millay’s diaries\, letters\, photographs taken at Steepletop during her life there\, and some memories of Austerlitz residents\, Edna St. Vincent Millay Society Literary Officer Krystyna Poray Goddu and AHS board member Tim Hawley will evoke the time when America’s best-loved poet and her husband\, Eugen Boissevain\, were familiar faces to Austerlitz residents.\n \nGoddu\, author of the 2016 biography A Girl Called Vincent: The Life of Poet Edna St. Vincent Millay\, will discuss Millay’s childhood in Maine\, her years at Vassar College and in Greenwich Village\, and her ground-breaking poetry. The presentation will also look at Millay and Boissevain’s transformation of the abandoned blueberry farm in Austerlitz\, which they named Steepletop\, into their beloved home: a working farm with flower\, herb\, and vegetable gardens; Millay’s writing cabin; guest houses; a tennis court overlooking the Berkshire hills\, and a sunken garden with a spring-fed swimming pool.\n \n \n
