Description
Edna St. Vincent Millay, second from right, is pictured with her high school friends on August 17, 1912 at Helena Blethen's cottage at Ash Point in Rockland.
On August 29, 1912, Millay's rise to fame began when she entertained guests at the Whitehall Inn dining room in Camden by reciting her poem "Renascence." That reading led to a scholarship to Vassar and the beginning of Millay's career as a poet and playwright.
