Sara Teasdale
(born Aug. 8, 1884, St. Louis, Mo., U.S. — died Jan. 29, 1933, New York, N.Y.) U.S. poet. While living in St. Louis she made frequent trips to Chicago, where she eventually joined Harriet Monroe's Poetry magazine circle. Her collection Rivers to the Sea (1915) established her as a popular poet, and Love Songs (1917) won the first Pulitzer Prize for poetry. Over time her verse became simpler and more austere. After her marriage ended in divorce in 1929, she moved to New York City, where she lived in virtual retirement. Many of the poems in her last book, Strange Victory (1933), foreshadow her suicide.
