Short, musical lyrics of desire, waiting, memory and loss make up this 1917 collection, which gathers new poems with favourites revised from Teasdale’s earlier books. Remembered beauty in Italy, a fugue of Bach, a quiet burying ground and the price of growing wise all find a place in her clear, singing lines.
The book that won the 1918 Columbia Poetry Society prize, forerunner of the Pulitzer for poetry, by one of America’s finest lyric poets. Download the free EPUB.
