Renascence and Other Poems
Edna St. Vincent Millay · Mitchell Kennerley, New York · 1917
US-only original; Millay wrote in English and there is no competing UK or original-language edition. The census is confirmed on publisher, year and the Glaslan-watermark first-issue point. The census's further claim of '15 large-paper copies' is REFUTED — no source located corroborates any large-paper or limitation issue of this book, and no dealer or auction description examined records a limitation page. The claim appears to conflate this title with the separate limited printing of 'Renascence: A Poem', a small signed printing variously reported at roughly 126 to 186 copies, which is a different publication. It is not repeated here. Separately, the title poem had appeared earlier in the anthology The Lyric Year (Mitchell Kennerley, 1912): that is first-in-print for 'Renascence', but it is not the book.
