"The Solitary"

Sara Teasdale
(1884 - 1933)
|
Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) was raised and educated in St. Louis and traveled to Europe and the Near East. After returning to the United States, she settled in New York and lived a life very similar to the independent "solitary" she describes in this poem. Her published works include Rivers to the Sea (1915) and Love Songs (1917). Love Songs went through five editions in one year and won Teasdale a special Pulitzer award, the first given to a book of poetry.
