Robert Loveman

Robert Loveman (April 11, 1864 - July 9, 1923) was an American poet. Born in Cleveland, Ohio on April 11, 1864, he was educated at the Dalton Academy in Dalton, Georgia, [Trent, William Peterfield (editor). "Southern Writers: Selections in Prose and Verse." Page 502. The MacMillan Company, 1905.] later attending the University of Alabama where he received his A.M. Loveman lived in Dalton for much of his life, where he wrote much of his verse. Loveman's poem, "the Rain Song" (also known as "April Rain"), become very well-known and was anthologized in many books of verse. It later inspired the Al Jolson song "April Showers." A well-known Southern poet, Loveman's song "Georgia", with music by Lollie Belle Wylie, was the official state song of Georgia before 1979 (when it was replaced by "Georgia on My Mind"). He died in Hot Springs, Arkansas on July 9, 1923. A biographical study by William Stanley Hoole, "It's Raining Violets: The Life and Poetry of Robert Loveman", was published in 1981.
