Jenifer Kay Hood's latest work, "Young Vincent: The Origins of a Poet," takes the reader on Edna St. Vincent Millay's journey from latch key child and surrogate mother to her younger sisters to cavalier and defiant Vassar graduate. Written like a novel but employing end notes to substantiate her telling, "Young Vincent" benefits from first hand interviews with Millay's sister, friends and lovers. Kirkus Reviews calls it, "...Compulsively readable. ...An often engaging take on a complex artist." Hood is also the author of paranormal and futurist fiction titles "Cold Fusion," "The Glass Nephew" and "Unidentified," as well as self-help works like "The Vestibule: A Guide for Clearing the Mind" and "Network Marketing for Introverts." Born in Oregon but raised in Los Angeles, Hood won the Margaret Heaton Prize for Best Masters Thesis from Sonoma State University and attended all doctoral coursework at the University of British Columbia (Canada). The author is also an actress and playwright, having performed "Fatal Interview," a one-woman show on the life of Edna St. Vincent Millay across North America, and overseen the production of "Bunny and Vincent," her play about the relationship between the critic Edmund Wilson and Millay. Hood was the subject of a thirty-minute PBS documentary concerning "Fatal Interview" in 1987. Those who enjoy the work of modernists will find Hood's Substack blog "The 20th Century Modernist Muse" of interest.
