Lesemann was born in Chicago, the son of a Methodist clergyman. He studied at the University of Chicago where he served as president of the Poetry Club, several of whose members — including Lesemann — were published in early numbers of the magazine Poetry. Before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts, he travelled to New Mexico to visit Yvor Winters and Glenway Wescott, and spent some time in teaching in the town of Cerrillos. After graduating he went into advertising. He married in 1926.
