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).
