Autorenporträt

Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) was an American lyrical poet who gained prominence in the early 20th century. She is best known for her concise, impassioned, and vivid poetry, which often delves into themes of love, beauty, and emotional subtlety. Teasdale's first major collection, 'Helen of Troy, and Other Poems' (1911), explores classical subjects with a modern sensibility, showcasing her ability to conjure powerful imagery and explore the feminine perspective. Later works, such as 'Love Songs' (1917), for which she won the Columbia University Poetry Society prize (later known as the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry), further cemented her place in American literature by capturing the complexities of love and longing with simplicity and grace. Teasdale's verse is marked by its clarity, simplicity, and musical quality, features that have made her an enduring figure in American poetry. Her work is characterized by the intense but restrained emotion, reflecting the inner turmoil and joys of her own life. Despite her success, Teasdale's life was marked by personal struggles, and she faced a series of health and emotional issues that eventually led to her untimely passing. Nonetheless, her poetic legacy continues to influence and inspire many, testifying to the power of her literary craftsmanship.
