The Snow-Drop

by Sarah S. Mower

About the author

Sarah S. Mower was an American poet associated with northern New England. Reliable catalog and audiobook sources connect her with The Snow-Drop: A Holiday Gift, a 19th-century collection that helped preserve her work for later readers.

LibriVox describes her as a poet who lived with an illness from early childhood and was confined to her home for years. That detail gives a little context for the quiet, inward tone often linked with her writing, though biographical information about her appears to be quite limited.

Because so little well-documented material is easy to confirm today, she stands out less as a famous literary figure than as one of the many lesser-known writers whose work survives through digitized books and volunteer reading projects. For listeners who enjoy rediscovered poetry and literary history, her work offers a glimpse of a voice that might otherwise have been lost.
