   Vachel Lindsay was an American poet who is considered one of the founders of modern singing poetry. Born in 1879 in Illinois, Lindsay achieved fame in the early 20th century with his mystical and populist-themed poems. He often performed them in a rhythmic, chant-like style, which contributed to his poetry's unique musicality and popularity. Some of his best-known works include "The Congo" and "Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight". He struggled with financial difficulties and mental health issues later in life, and he died by suicide in 1931.

1. Vachel Lindsay

   Nicholas Vachel Lindsay was an American poet. He is considered the father of modern singing poetry, as he referred to it, in which verses are meant to be sung or chanted. His extensive correspondence with the poet Yeats details his intentions to revive the musical qualities in poetry as had been practiced by the ancient Greeks. Because of his identity as a performance artist and his use of American Midwest themes, Lindsay became known in the 1910s as the "Prairie Troubador." For the final twenty years of his life, Lindsay was one of the best-known poets in the US. His reputation was high enough to enable him to befriend, encourage, and mentor other poets, such as Langston Hughes and Sara Teasdale. However, his poetry lacked elements that encouraged the attention of academic scholarship, and after his death he became an obscure figure.
