Let Me Remember: the Poetry of Sara J. Leach Seth B. Leonard

Let Me Remember: The Poetry of Sara J. Leach is a charming volume of verse penned by a young woman inhabiting the bustling New York City of the 1930s. Sara J. Leach (1893-1970) received her impetus to put pen to paper and express her poetic musings while taking a correspondence course from the Poet Laureate of Florida, Vivian Laramore Rader. At the time, Sara shared a cozy apartment in New York with her husband, Lester Leach, who was a university professor. Sara had met Vivian during a visit to in-laws in the South, and Vivian was encouraging of Sara's literary leanings. Sara J. Leach gained her inspiration from the beautiful mayhem of Manhattan, the wonders of nature, the mystery of love and the comforts of family and friends.
