George Washington Cable (October 12, 1844 – January 31, 1925) was an American novelist notable for the realism of his portrayals of Creole life in his native New Orleans, Louisiana. He has been called "the most important southern artist working in the late 19th century, as well as the first modern southern writer."[1] In his treatment of racism, mixed-race families and miscegenation, his fiction has been thought to anticipate that of William Faulkner.

Madison Cawein (March 23, 1865 – December 8, 1914) was a poet fromLouisville, Kentucky. Madison Julius Cawein was born in Louisville, Kentucky on March 23, 1865, the fifth child of William and Christiana (Stelsly) Cawein. His father made patent medicines from herbs. Thus as a child, Cawein became acquainted with and developed a love for local nature. After graduating from high school, Cawein worked in a pool hall in Louisville as a cashier in Waddill's New-market, which also served as a gambling house.[1] He worked there for six years, saving his pay so he could return home to write. His output was thirty-six books [2][3] and 1,500 poems.[4] His writing presented Kentucky scenes in a language echoing Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats.[5] He soon earned the nickname the "Keats of Kentucky".[6] 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.[7] [more]
