title: Poems by a suicide: Sara Teasdale.
abstract: An analysis of trends over time in the poems of Sara Teasdale as the time of her suicide approached identified a decrease in positive emotions and fewer references to the self and to others. These trends are different from those previously identified from studies of letters and diaries written by suicides.
