The parameters of separable coupled channels s-wave potentials for the strong {ovr K}N interaction are determined from low energy K{sup {minus}}p scattering data with additional constraints from {pi}{sup {minus}}p {yields} {pi}{Sigma}K{sup 0} production data. The shifts and widths of the Coulomb bound states in kaonic hydrogen are calculated with these potentials and compared with experiment. Optical potentials are constructed from {ovr K}N t-matrices derived from the separable potentials and these optical potentials are used to calculate kaonic helium and kaonic carbon shifts and widths which are also compared with experiment.
