About this book

LibriVox volunteers bring you 15 recordings of A Wraith of Summertime by James Whitcomb Riley. This was the Weekly Poetry project for September 14, 2025. ------ Riley's chief legacy was his influence in fostering the creation of a Midwestern cultural identity and his contributions to the Golden Age of Indiana Literature. With other writers of his era, he helped create a caricature of Midwesterners and formed a literary community that produced works rivaling the established eastern literati. - Summary by Wikipedia
