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!

This review is from: The COLLECTED POEMS OF SARA TEASDALE (Board book)

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

This review is from: Collected Poems (Library Binding)

An excellent collection of poems by Sara Teasdale, one of the early 20th Century's forgotten poets. Unlike most poets, Teasdale uses classical rhyming and form for her work. However, I found that the poems seemed free and fluid, more so than other modern efforts. These poems will definately touch the romantic side, I recommend Teasdale to anyone who loves romance and sensual writing.
