Poetry for non-poetry people

A lovely collection of poems, all of which are easy to read and enjoy. Think of this volume as good way to begin to appreciate poetry. Most of the poems relate to the natural world. If you like Edna St. Vincent Millay, then you will like Sara Teasdale.

Amazing Poetry!!!

I own a copy of this book from around 1943. I love her poetry and think it is a beautiful example of American Poetry. I hope others agree!!!!

For any Teasdale lover, this book is a MUST HAVE!

I have an original copy of this book, given to me by my Grandfather, a retired English professor. It gathers all of Teasdale's finest works into one wonderful collection. From 'The Poor House' to 'The Metropolitan Tower' to 'Barter', some of her finest poems are in this collection. And now, I am purchasing another copy for my best friend!

A great source for one of America's premier poets.

Sara Teasdale is easily one of the greatest American poets and this collection has all her great works in one book. A must for lovers of poetry.

outstanding book of poetry

Sara Teasdale has truly moved me to tears so many times in the reading of her incredibly sensitive poetry that it's hard to put common words to it. I have read this collected works many times and it is a wonderfully arranged collection of her finest poems. Any reader of poetry will be entranced by her precision and immense sensitivity to life, love, pain angst etc. As a professor, I often read sections of her poems to my students and it never fails that they love this women's words of love , her appreciation of nature, and the powerful eyes of one who sees life. I know of few poets in history that can approach her simple way of opening the wounds of our lives in such few words. I recommend her to all who would be ready to enjoy true poetry at it's finest
