James Whitcomb Riley war ein Dichter, dessen Werke für ihre lebendige Darstellung der amerikanischen Landschaft und ihrer Bewohner bekannt sind. Seine Poesie zeichnet sich durch Musikalität und spielerische Kadenz aus, die oft die Dialekte und die Sprache des einfachen Volkes nachahmt. Riley beherrschte es, durch seine Verse Nostalgie und Wärme hervorzurufen, die häufig Kindheitsbeobachtungen und das Landleben feierten. Seine Gedichte zeichnen sich nicht nur durch sprachliche Gewandtheit aus, sondern auch durch ein tiefes Verständnis der menschlichen Natur und der Erinnerungen an die Heimat.
