Love Songs
by Sara Teasdale from 1917
About
Teasdale's Love Songs (1917) is her Pulitzer Prize-winning collection and her most concentrated achievement: short lyric poems of love, longing, and loss in which formal precision and emotional directness combine to remarkable effect. Poems like 'I shall not care' and 'There Will Come Soft Rains' have entered the permanent repertoire of American poetry. The collection's focus makes it ideal for themed readings — a single evening exploring love's many faces through a poet of consummate lyric craft.
