Hannah Kahn (1911–1988) was an American poet, born in New York City, and subsequently a longtime resident of Miami, Florida.
Hannah quit school at the age of 16 and worked menial jobs in New York City before going on to obtain her GED and college education.
She then obtained entry level work at a furniture manufacturer and eventually became showroom manager for the business until her retirement.
Hannah had been successful in bringing national poets, such as Anthony Hecht, Gwendolyn Brooks, Yehuda Amichai, Dana Gioia, Maxine Kumin, John Haag, Carolyn Kizer and others to read and lecture in South Florida, and the foundation continues that effort.
