Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt (Sallie M.
Bryan; August 11, 1836 – December 22, 1919) was an American poet.
Sometimes publishing under "Sallie M.
Bryan", she was a prolific and popular poet during her lifetime, associating with prominent literary figures in the United States and abroad.
During her career, she published some 450 poems across eighteen volumes and in leading periodicals of the day. Piatt spent much of her life in Ohio, Washington DC, and Ireland.
George D.
Prentice, the editor of the Louisville Journal, was an intimate friend of the family, and through his paper, Piatt's poems first received recognition.
In 1861, she married John James Piatt, who was a journalist, litterateur, and poet, as well as a federal employee who eventually served as an American Consul in Ireland.
Her husband had been her chief critic, and was responsible for the publication of her work in book form.Though her work was cordially commended by many other well-known and capable critics in the U.S.
and Europe, Piatt's foreign critics were, perhaps, more generous in their appreciation than even those of the U.S.
Her name was often linked with Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Christina Rossetti by English reviewers, and in Great Britain, she had a greater following than in the U.S.
