Talk:Sara Teasdale

message: Aside from the quotations, almost all of it relies on a single biography... Kinda relies on a single source..? Would this count as too little source? Possible further refrencing: 1 2 Zenith042 21:20, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Single biography

message: Okay what the hell.  The image that was on this article said "pre 1923, not subject to cpyright" and it was deleted.  (I'm guessing "no source" on this one.)  But this poet deserves a photo. - Hbdragon88 06:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I had a feeling that this was the case, but it seemed to be repeated an awful lot when I checked the anon's addition. Incidentally, I see that someone has broken the Teasdale books I added to Wikisource up into their individual poems, and done quite a good job of it - how cool. Ambi 06:25, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

message: According to a scanned copy of Helen of Troy that I have from google.com, Helen of Troy is 1911, Rivers to the Sea is 1915, Love Songs is 1917,  and Flame and Shadow is 1921. So the reference to Rivers to the Sea should be to her second, not to her third, collection of poetry. We should not count The Answering Voice as a collection of HER work since it is a collection of poems from 100 poets that she edited.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.40.69.21 (talk) 20:37, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sequence of publication 

message: I know Frank Ticheli was inspired by Sara Teasdale's poems and her death to write his famous piece "There Will Be Rest", but I'm a bit confused about if she actually wrote a poem called "There Will Be Rest" or if Ticheli's lyrics were completely his own. Would someone who knows the answer please write me back? I'll check in the near future. Thank you. :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.132.39.224 (talk) 03:26, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The reference for the suicide myth can not be the poem itself, as that does not verify that the urban legend actually exists. Mrathel (talk) 09:32, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that reference is actually for the statement that "I Shall Not Care" was published in that book. 165.91.189.33 (talk) 01:27, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: The suicide myth

message: Can we really know that Teasdale suffered from bipolar disorder? The diagnosis didn't even *exist* during her lifetime. Given her suicide, she may well have had something, but this at the very least needs a cite (it's especially iffy because it's not mentioned in the article itself, only in the category.) Vultur (talk) 01:30, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The categorization is not useful unless it's mentioned, with a reliable source, in the text of the article itself. I support its removal until then.  --Midnightdreary (talk) 20:43, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I removed it. Vultur (talk) 04:24, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Bipolar?

message: I think that perhaps that last entry under Legacy and Influence may be written in a somewhat unprofessional manner. Should it be rewritten or deleted in its entirety?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.23.153.20 (talk) 07:41, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Legacy and Influence

message: Hi guys, Eriks Ešenvalds also wrote a fabulous choral setting of her poem "Only in Sleep". It's so wonderful that I thought it deserves a mention: Trinity College Choir Cheers --2A02:1205:34D3:36E0:69D2:810F:27C3:ED2C (talk) 09:10, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

message: The article on  (Alice) Marion Cummings says that Teasdale had a friendship with Cummings. This could go in the article, and that might save the article on Marion Cummings being an orphaned article. Vorbee (talk) 09:51, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

message: Do we know if any scholarly/reputable sources on Teasdale's sexuality--more specifically, her possible bisexuality--exist? She wrote love poems to women (including the bisexual icon Eleanora Duse, but also including several women of her own acquaintance), started writing in a circle containing several lesbian or bisexual women, and regularly revisited Sappho and her followers as subjects of her own poetry. This is obviously original research as it is, but seems it could be a useful direction for an addition to the article if there's some non-original research on the subject. 67.1.253.174 (talk) 18:45, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Sexuality?

message: How about getting my back to Teasdale's poems? One essential topic missing from the article so far is about themes in her work. Readers of the "There Will Come Soft Rains" article want to know more about her opposition to World War I, which is also reflected in many of her other war-time poems.--172.58.188.32 (talk) 21:35, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
