Books A New Day For Ms. Millay

Milford’s long dig into the poet’s life is sure to reignite interest in Millay’s poetry. (There’s also another new biography, “What Lips My Lips Have Kissed,” by Daniel Mark Epstein.) Even by the time of her death in 1950–she pitched down the stairs one night and broke her neck, at the age of 58–Edna St. Vincent Millay had drifted out of fashion. But everybody remembered these prophetic lines: My candle burns at both ends;/It will not last the night;/But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends–/It gives a lovely light!...

The Spider-Man celebration is a staple of Aubameyang’s on-field presence, but pulling out a mask mid-game sort of tops the typical slide to the corner as your teammates mob you. Score a goal, put on a Spider-Man mask....
