Alina Sanotska. Sara Teasdale. I thought of you Natalia Derevianko. Sara Teasdale. If Death Is Kind. A Prayer But shortly before World War I a "new" Poetry burst upon the scene which sought to break away from the old romanticism and mythological references--a poetry that sought to portray actual life in the language of everyday people. Among the new innovators were Carl Sandburg, Vachel Lindsay, Amy Lowell, Edgar Lee Masters and Robert Frost. By the new standards Sara Teasdale with her traditional technique and conventional rhyming patterns should have become one of the fleeting, soon-to-be-forgotten poets of the club woman culture. Instead her reputation spread and she gained admirers, for her poetry was entirely of herself, an expression of her own inner world; her poetry spoke to the heart and she remained uninfluenced by the "new poets."

 * Teasdale's major themes were: **** love, nature's beauty, and death, **
 * and her poems were much loved during the early 20th century. **
 * One biographer said of Sara Teasdale's poems, "She had a gift as simple and natural as breathing. It caught one unaware and left the most critical mind astonished and helpless. **

**Her strong belief in the power of American poetry and the simplicity of poetry is demonstrated in this quote:**
 * Said Teasdale said, ** **"The poet must put far from him the amazing word, the learned allusion, the facile inversion, the clever twist of thought, for all of these things will blur his poem and distract his reader. He must not overcrowd his lines with figures of speech, because in piling these one upon another he defeats his own purpose...the poet should try to give his poem the quiet swiftness of flame, so that the reader will feel and not think while he is reading. But the thinking will come afterwards."**

"A fairly wide acquaintance with the poetry of England makes me sure that we [Americans] are nearer than they are to producing great work...As for my own work, I feel that the best of it is done in brief, exceedingly simple poems. I try to say what moves me--I never care to surprise my reader; and I avoid...all words that are not met with in common speech, and all inversions of word or phrases...

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 24px;">For me **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 24px;">one of the greatest joys of poetry is **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 24px;"> to know it by heart-- **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 24px;">perhaps that is why the simple, **

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 24px;">they are the easiest to learn." **
 * Teasdale was very much a product of her Victorian upbringing, and she was never able to experience in life the passion that she expressed in her poetry. **

Teasdale's health further declined. On the morning of January 29, 1933, in her New York City apartment, Teasdale took an overdose of sleeping pills, lay down in a warm bath, fell asleep, and never woke up again.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #181818; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Filsinger was away a lot on business which caused a lot of loneliness for Teasdale. **
 * She was not happy in her marriage, and she divorced Filsinger in 1929, against his wishes. **
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #181818; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5;">Filsinger was shocked and surprised. **

Her last, and some say her finest, collection of verse, //Strange Victory//, was published posthumously that same year. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #181818; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">She is interred in the Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis.
