Afterword - Madison Cawein

Afterword Madison Cawein

LibriVox volunteers bring you 17 recordings of Afterword by Madison Julius Cawein.

This was the Weekly Poetry project for September 7, 2025.

His output was thirty-six books and 1,500 poems. His writing presented Kentucky scenes in a language echoing Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats. He soon earned the nickname the "Keats of Kentucky". He was popular enough that, by 1900, he told the Louisville Courier-Journal that his income from publishing poetry in magazines amounted to about $100 a month. - Summary by Wikipedia
