“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.

During the research for her biography of Francis Thompson, Between Heaven and Charing Cross it became clear to Brigid Boardman that a new edition of his poetry was essential for a full recognition of the range and variety of his work. He remains best known for his great poem The Hound of Heaven but his work as a whole has never been properly presented. All previous editions include the many alterations and deletions that were made to Thompson’s work posthumously by Wilfrid Meynell for the edition of 1913. Meynell’s aim was to present the poetry in a strictly orthodox Catholic light in a period when fears about Modernism influenced the Church’s understanding of literature. These anxieties have not served the poetry well. Thompson’s aim was ‘to be the poet of the return to God’ and his work expresses the divine presence that he believed permeated all aspects of life. This edition finally restores an important English poet to the readers that he so deserves.
