The book presents a vibrant exploration of love, loss, beauty, and the complexities of human emotions, often infused with Millay's characteristic wit and lyrical charm. The title suggests both the sweetness and bitterness of life, with the “figs” metaphorically representing the fruits of experience that one encounters along the journey. This collection contains a variety of poems that express the varied landscapes of emotion and human experience. Millay's verses cover themes like the fleeting nature of love, the joys and sorrows of relationships, and the joy found in simple moments. For instance, in “My candle burns at both ends,” she poignantly reflects on the inevitability of life's transience while embracing its beauty. Other poems, such as “Recuerdo,” evoke nostalgia and shared memories, showcasing her ability to weave personal reflections into universal truths. With her distinctive voice, Millay captures the essence of both the highs and lows of life, making her work resonate deeply with readers.
