Sara Trevor Teasdale was an American lyric poet, born on August 8, 1884 in St. Louis, Missouri. Teasdale's first poem was published in a local newspaper, in 1907. Her first collection of poems, Sonnets to Duse and Other Poems, was published that same year. For her Poetry Collection Love Songs, she won a Pulitzer Prize.

Her husband's constant business travel caused Teasdale much loneliness and finally she divorced and rekindled her friendship with her youth lover and poet Vachel Lindsay.

In 1933, she died by suicide, overdosing on sleeping pills. Lindsay had died by suicide two years earlier.

Teasdale wrote seven books of poetry in her lifetime and received public admiration for her well-crafted lyrical poetry which centered on a woman's changing perspectives on beauty, love, and death.
