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).This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with a chapter from Benjamin Franklin Fisher's Francis Thompson, Essays (1917).
