A fascinating and immersive account of Floyd Dell’s relationship with Edna St Vincent Millay compiled from his letters by his granddaughter. It’s an intimate and insightful portrait of the poet told through Dell’s own words, and is at the same time a wonderful portrait of Greenwich Village and its denizens. Thoroughly enjoyable.

I am so happy that I had the opportunity to read this remembrance of Edna St. Vincent Millay through the eyes of Floyd Dell. It was a fascinating trip back in time. Bohemian Greenwich Village came into sharp relief through the stories Floyd shared in over a thousand pages of letters to Miriam Gurko, a Millay biographer.
The letters and additional writings were curated by Floyd's granddaughter, Jerri Dell. She organized a thoughtful, poignant, thought provoking, and vibrant memoir/biography of Edna St. Vincent Millay.
I loved the intimate portrait Floyd Dell's words painted of a poet whose words he eternally loved and who he had briefly loved.
I highly recommend Blood Too Bright.
