About The Author

Edward Thomas

Edward Thomas (1878-1917) was an English poet, journalist, and essayist. He made his living writing prose for many years, until he was encouraged to compose verse by the American poet Robert Frost. This led to a prolific outburst of extraordinary poetry, which was brought to a tragic end when Thomas was killed in the First World War.
