Great comments! I went through an Edna St Vincent Millay phase quite a while back, after reading a fascinating profile of her in an online magazine. One thing I discovered is that you could buy first editions of her books for dirt cheap, because so many copies had been printed in her hey day, such was her popularity. Anyway, while I remember that she was pretty open about her sexual desires, I don't remember that she treated men as the passive instruments of her pleasure in the same way Tolmie does.
As for rap, that's a fascinating question. She certainly piles the rhymes up in "Can't bear the searchlight's glare, the ripping stare/Admixture of what's wanted and what's there."
