Today the Kentucky poet, Cawein is most often discussed in relation to his 1913 poem titled, "Waste Land" from which T. S. Eliot derived inspiration for his 1922 modernist masterpiece "The Waste Land." Most of his short career, Cawein was generally a romantic poet but towards the end of his life shifted directions. Many scholars consider Cawein's "Waste Land" an early example of modernism.
