Description	John James Piatt published Odes in Ohio and Other Poems in 1897.

The book is 56 pages long and measures 4.25 by 6.75 inches (10.8 by 17.15 cm). John James Piatt (1835-1917) was born in Indiana and moved with his family to Franklinton, Ohio when he was six. He lived with his uncle in nearby Columbus, attended grammar classes at Capital University, and worked as a printer's devil at the Ohio State Journal. Piatt developed an interest in poetry and gained the attention of George Prentice, editor of the Louisville Journal. Prentice hired him as his secretary and published his poems in the Journal. Piatt served as a clerk in the department of the treasury starting in 1860. He and his wife Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt made their home in Georgetown, where both continued to write poetry. After the Civil War, Piatt was affiliated with Cincinnati newspapers and served as librarian of the House of Representatives. He also served a consul to Ireland.

Enough for him, indeed, That he should plant the tree, should sow the seed, And earn the reaper's guerdon, even if he Should not the reaper be : " Let him who after a while, when I shall pass, may dwell In my sweet close, 'neath my dear roof instead. Enjoy the harvest, pluck the fruit as well.
