Description
James Elroy Flecker's poetry career was marked by periods of intense creativity, despite struggling with the early symptoms of tuberculosis. His work, including the celebrated poem "The Bridge of Fire", was gaining recognition, but his health was becoming increasingly unpredictable.
Between bouts of illness, Flecker continued to write, revising and completing several volumes of poetry, as well as prose works and plays. His output was small, but his impact on English literature was significant, with his death at a young age being described as a "premature loss" that would be felt for years to come.
This collection brings together Flecker's most notable poems, offering a glimpse into the life and work of a poet who was cut short by illness, yet left an enduring legacy in the world of English literature.
