In what year did Millay submit to The Lyric Year?

• A. 1913
• B. 1914
• C. 1911
• D. 1912

Answer: (D)

Millay’s first major breakthrough came when her work appeared in The Lyric Year in 1912. The Lyric Year was a yearly anthology that showcased notable new poems, and 1912 is the year that marks her submission leading to widespread attention, notably for the poem often cited as launching her career, “Renascence.” The other years don’t align with the well-documented moment of her first major publication in The Lyric Year, so 1912 is the correct year.
