------
Cawein is acknowledged as the first Kentucky poet to earn a national reputation. His poetry allied his love of nature with a devotion to earlier English and European literature, mythology, and classical allusion. After his death at a young age, however, he was mostly forgotten until a more recent revival recognized the farsightedness of his writing. - Summary by Wikipedia (0 hr 25 min)
