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.

Except from From the Woolwo......more
