Lanier lived in this town for a while and taught school here. I have visited
the "Marshes of Glenn" and it inspired my own marsh poem, remember it? I
also know some of his relatives who are still in this area and taught a
Lanier at one time. The Laniers are also related to Tennessee Williams, the
playwright. Montgomery has a Sidney Lanier high school and their football
team is named "The Poets." Sue
