The Endless Space Unfurled EP consists of five songs
written and performed by Ask For Joy, all set to the poetry of
American lyrical poet
Sara Teasdale (1884-1933).
From the liner notes: Sara Teasdale was an American lyrical
poet. She was courted by two admirers, poet Vachel Lindsay and
Ernst Filsinger. Though she had deep feelings for Lindsay, who asked
her to marry him, Sara married Filsinger, a wealthy businessman,
in 1914. She was not happy in the marriage and they divorced in 1929
against his wishes. On the morning of January 29, 1933, in her
New York City apartment, Sara took an overdose of sleeping pills,
lay down in a warm bath, fell asleep, and never woke up again. In
1931, two years before Teasdale's suicide, Vachel Lindsay, her
friend and former suitor, had also committed suicide.
