Rivers to the Sea

by Sara Teasdale from 1915

About

Teasdale's 1915 collection — her third — consolidates her lyric voice with poems of love, nature, and the city that are among her most purely beautiful. The collection draws on her travels to Europe and the Middle East and her complex emotional life, translating personal experience into formal lyric with remarkable consistency. Rivers to the Sea established her as the most widely read American woman poet of her generation.
