Publisher Description

Francis was an English poet and Catholic mystic.
He spent three years on the streets of London, supporting himself with menial labour, becoming addicted to opium which he took to relieve a nervous problem.
During this period from 1888 – 1897, after which he turned to writing prose. 
Francis' poem The Hound of Heaven was called by the Bishop of London "one of the most tremendous poems ever written".
