Synopsis

In this sweeping portrait of four literary rebels-W.B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, ‎Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Dylan Thomas-modern poetry's ‎triumphant leaps and tragic falls are laid bare. From Pound's Imagist ‎manifesto and treacherous wartime broadcasts to Yeats' mystical salons ‎and complicated loves, their ambitions reshaped verse and provoked ‎scandal. Millay, the Jazz Age icon and first female Pulitzer laureate, ‎defied convention with fiercely honest sonnets and social crusades, while ‎Thomas, the Welsh firebrand, burned through his life with raw emotion, ‎unforgettable lines, and a tortured passion for words and booze. Through ‎secret diaries, public triumphs, and posthumous reckonings, this book ‎unravels their intertwined legacies, exploring how genius courted ‎controversy and desire fuelled creation. Vividly researched and ‎poignantly told, it reveals the intimate struggles behind their public ‎myths-proof that poetry's greatest power often springs from its creators' ‎most flawed and fervent selves-and their enduring influence on ‎generations to come.‎
