Leah Fritz is an American feminist poet and author. Although she was born in the United States, Fritz has been active in England since she moved here in 1985.

Here are poems for Howard, her late husband of 62 years; remembrance of literary and political lives; imagined musings of an undrowned Shelley; thoughts on Ozymandias and other dictators; and sharp philosophical unpicking of relationships with poetry and psychoanalysis.
