Cup of Tea

by James Whitcomb Riley

This collection of poems by James Whitcomb Riley, known as the "Hoosier Poet," showcases his signature style. The verses are filled with a blend of humor, sentimentality, and a strong connection to the Midwestern American experience. Riley's works often feature dialect, capturing the colloquialisms and rhythms of the everyday speech of his time. With themes ranging from childhood innocence to the complexities of human relationships, these poems offer a glimpse into the heart of the American Midwest at the turn of the 20th century.
