    About this ebook

    “Selected Poems of Francis Thompson” is a fantastic collection of some of Francis Thompson's best poetry, together with introductory notes as well as a chapter from Benjamin Franklin Fisher's “Francis Thompson, Essays” (1917). Contents include: “Poems on Children”, “From Sister Songs”, “Love in Dian's Lap”, and “Miscellaneous Poems”. Francis Thompson (1859–1907) was an English mystic and poet. Thompson went to medical school when he was 18, but left home at the age of 26 to pursue a life of writing. He was homeless for three years, becoming an opium addict and supporting himself through whatever means available. A married couple read his poetry and took him into their home 1888, and in 1893 he published his first book, “Poems”. Other notable works by this author include: “The Poppy” (1893), “Sister Songs” (1895), and “Shelley” (1909). A fantastic collection of poetry will appeal to all lovers of the form and is not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed other work by Thompson. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition with specially curated introductory material.
