About

The ten songs on No Clothes on Ragged Island are based on the extraordinary life of New York poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. Each song is a scene from the poet’s life, told in chronological order. All songs were written by Kevin Peckham and Karl Ward on February 21, 2010 just one day shy of Millay’s 118th birthday.
