Sara Teasdale

Sara Teasdale was born in 1884 in St. Louis, a late-born and frail child of a well-off, pious family. Educated at home until the age of nine, at twenty she belonged to a circle of young women who produced a handwritten magazine of art and letters. Courted by Vachel Lindsay, whom she turned away, she married a businessman in 1914, settled in New York in 1916, divorced in 1929 and lived thereafter in seclusion, in poor health. She died there in 1933, at the age of forty-eight, a little over a year after Lindsay.
