James Whircomb Riley (1849 - 1916) was an American writer and poet. He was known as the Hoosier Poet and the Children's Poet. He began his career writing poetry for newspapers using the Indiana dialect. His poetry is humorous or sentimental. Riley's poetry is loved for its simple verse and familiar sentiments. Riley never married and had no children. It is possibly his regret at not having children that encouraged him to write poems for young readers.
