EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the enchanting beauty and profound depth of Sara Teasdale Filsinger, an American Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, on July 11, 1919. The photograph was taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, who expertly captured Teasdale's captivating presence and the introspective nature of her art. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1884, Teasdale began writing poetry at a young age and published her first collection, "Sonnets to Duse and Other Poems," in 1900. Her poetic voice was unique, raw, and deeply emotional, resonating with readers and critics alike. Her work often explored themes of love, loss, and the human condition, earning her a devoted following and critical acclaim. In 1912, Teasdale became the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for her collection "Rivers to the Sea." This significant achievement solidified her place in American literature and cemented her legacy as a trailblazing poet. Arnold Genthe, a German-American photographer, captured Teasdale's essence in this timeless portrait. The glass negative, now part of the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases the poet's expressive eyes, thoughtful gaze, and the quiet intensity that defined her work. The image is a testament to the enduring power of art and the indelible mark Teasdale left on American literature during the 1910s. Teasdale's life was cut tragically short when she took her own life in 1933, but her poetry continues to inspire and move readers around the world. This portrait, taken by Genthe, serves as a poignant reminder of her extraordinary talent and the profound impact she had on the literary world.
