Synopsis

Praised for the exquisite refinement of her lyric poetry, Sara Teasdale's Flame and Shadow has been a favorite since it was first published in 1920. Although Sara Teasdale won the Pulitzer Prize for her book Love Songs in 1918, Flame and Shadow is considered to be one of her best works. Her insightful poems sing with her reverence for nature and beauty, her philosophy of love and loss.

About Sara Teasdale

Sara Teasdale (1884–1933) was an American lyrical poet of the twentieth century. Her writing, while noted for its simplicity, clarity, and use of classical forms, was deeply personal, passionate and introspective. Her earliest published poems date from 1907. Additional collections followed in 1911 and 1915. In 1918, she received the Columbia University Poetry Society of America Prize (forerunner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry) for her collection, “Love Songs.” Despite frail health, she continued to publish collections until her death (by suicide) in 1933.

I can see why Sara Teasdale was so popular in her time. Her poems run the gamut from light and romance-y to dark and full of death. It's chilling when you realize how many of her poems mention death, considering she committed suicide in 1933.......more
