  New Georgia Encyclopedia: Sidney Lanier (1842-1881)
Sidney Lanier was born in Macon on February 3, 1842.
Today Sidney Lanier is most noted for his experimental musical renderings of Georgia's fields, rivers, and shores in such poems as "Corn" (1875), "The Song of the Chattahoochee" (1877), and "The Marshes of Glynn" (1879).
Lanier found his purest voice in the religious vision of "The Marshes of Glynn." Set in southeastern Glynn County, the poem begins with a rhythmic description of the thick marsh as the narrator feels himself growing and connecting with the sinews of the marsh itself.
