"First Fig" by Edna St. Vincent Millay

"First Fig" by Edna St. Vincent Millay

I've just returned from the West Village in New York City, On an unassuming street, lies a small theatre. The Cherry Lane Theatre. The oldest off-Broadway theatre still in operation. The theatre holds memories and poetry. Today I start an exploration of Edna St. Vincent Millay with "First Fig". The patron of that theatre. @ravynreads on socials if you are so inclined.
