To mark 75 years since the death of the American poet and playwright Edna St Vincent Millay, Daljit Nagra selects Adventures in Poetry featuring Millay's short poem First Fig.

This single-stanza poem has had an extraordinary life.

Peggy Reynolds traces its journey from the bohemia of Greenwich Village in New York, where it was written nearly 100 years ago.

* And Daljit reads from his Poetry Extra Book of the Month: Chaotic Good by Isabelle Baafi.
