Accolon of Gaul, with Other Poems

Madison Cawein (March 23, 1865 – December 8, 1914) was a poet from Louisville, Kentucky. 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".

«Accolon of Gaul, with Other Poems» is a collection of Cawein's poems. His poetry combined his love of nature with mythology and allusion through the traditional approach of classical English and European literature. His singularly creative fancy breathes a soul into every scene; his touch leaves everything that was dull to the sense before glowing in the light of joyful recognition.
