Research Paper On Sara Teasdale

Sara Teasdale (August 8, 1884~January 29, 1933) was born in St. Louis, Missouri and was homeschooled until she was nine due to the fact that she was always so frail and caught diseases very easily. She became a little more healthy and in 1914, she married Ernst Filsinger, who had loved her poems for a long time. Even though they had a pretty modest marriage life, Teasdale became lonely after all the years her husband spent traveling and they divorced in 1929. On the January of 1933, she caught pneumonia and could no longer see the simple beauty in the things she could see before. She committed suicide at the age of forty-eight just ten day later on January 29, 1933. One of her poems, “I Shall Not Care”, became commonly called her “suicide poem”
