“Witch-Wife” by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Posted on June 16, 2014 by julian peters comics

Here is my adaptation of an Edna St. Vincent Millay poem first published in 1917. In her wonderful biography of Millay, Savage Beauty, Nancy Milford describes “Witch-Wife” as “clearly something of a self-portrait,” and that is the interpretation that I have gone with here (click on images to enlarge):

    Oupse, alors voici:
    Vraiment, mais vraiment, la ballade en voiture est ma case préférée. C’est si subtil a représenter un regard légèrement hors de la voiture, pour le vent, pour voir autrement qu’à travers le pare-brise, just love it!
    Alice!

    Jools, your is a wonderful illustration of this powerful, little poem that’s a deft mixture of the literal and the evocatively figurative! Hats off, brother!
