Susan McLean is an American poet, a translator of poetry,[1] and a retired professor of English at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, Minnesota.[2]

According to an interview with the Poetry Foundation, she describes her love of formalism as: " I am addicted to the esoteric pleasures of rhyme and meter, and I don’t even try to deny it or camouflage it with slant rhyme". She has been portrayed as a New Formalist by many if not most noted critics of her work.[9]
