The Poetry of Sara Teasdale / La Poésie de Sara Teasdale
(Bilingual English – French Edition • Édition Bilingue Anglais – Français)
Sara Teasdale’s intimate lyrics bloom anew in this delicate bilingual edition, where each whispered confession and nature-haunted verse finds its echo in French. The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet who captured hearts with her Love Songs now speaks to readers in two languages, her spare elegance preserved in facing-page perfection.
About the Poet:
The St. Louis poet who turned heartbreak into crystalline verse, Sara Teasdale wrote with a vulnerability that made readers feel she spoke directly to them. Shy in person but bold on the page, she transformed simple words into emotional lightning—whether describing Midwestern thunderstorms or the quiet despair of lost love. Though her life ended tragically, her poems remain, as she wrote, “Like remembered music after the soul is still.”
