About Sara Teasdale
Sara Trevor Teasdale (1884–1933) was born in St Louis, Missouri. A child of poor health she was fourteen years old when she was well enough to begin school. Her first poetry publication was in 1907, with her second book in 1911. She was courted by Vachel Lindsay, a great poet, but one who thought he could not provide a suitable standard of living. So Sara married Ernst Filsinger and the couple moved to New York City. In 1917 she released the poetry collection Love Songs, and the following year it won three awards: the Columbia University Poetry Society prize, the 1918 Pulitzer Prize for poetry, and the annual prize of the Poetry Society of America.
