is a book of sheer delight. . . . Her touch turns everything to song."--Edward J. Wheeler, in 'Current Opinion'. "Sara Teasdale's lyrics have the clarity, the precision, the grace and fragrance of flowers."--Harriet Monroe, in 'Poetry'. "Sara Teasdale has a genius for the song, for the perfect lyric, in which the words seem to have fallen into place without art or effort."--Louis Untermeyer, in 'The Chicago Evening Post'. "'Rivers to the Sea' is the best book of pure lyrics that has appeared in English since A. E. Housman's 'A Shropshire Lad'."--William Marion Reedy, in 'The Mirror'. "'Rivers to the Sea' is the most beautiful book of pure lyrics that has come to my hand in years."--'Los Angeles Graphic'. "Sara Teasdale sings about love better than any other contemporary American poet."--'The Boston Transcript'. "'Rivers to the Sea' is the most charming volume of poetry that has appeared on either side of the Atlantic in a score of years."--'St. Louis Republic'. Sara Teasdale (1884-1933): Teasdale was born in St. Louis, Missouri, where she attended a school that was founded by the grandfather of another great poet from St. Louis--T. S. Eliot. She later associated herself more with New York City. Her first book of poems was "Sonnets to Duse" (1907), [at least one poem in the current volume, "Faults", is from this book,] but "Helen of Troy" (1911) was the true launch of her career, followed by "Rivers to the Sea" (1915), "Love Songs" (1917), "Flame and Shadow" (1920) and more. Her final volume, "Strange Victory", is considered by many to be predictive of her suicide in 1933.
