One Damn Thing - Michael David - Bog

Broke and broken down, famed poet Edna St. Vincent Millay struggles to fulfill a paid commission she desperately needs. At the summit of her powers, "Vincent" received the first Pulitzer Prize ever awarded to a female poet and international acclaim as a household name. She also burned the candle at both ends, bedding men and women with abandon, mixing comfort with career in her ascent to greatness. Now, on the last night of her life, she is torn between the twin distractions of drugs and booze, the comic hectoring of her personal journal come to life, the colorful past conjured by her overactive imagination, and that "one damn thing" ... writing a Thanksgiving Day poem for The Saturday Evening Post.
