Tento anglický básník proslul svými poetickými díly a asketickým životem. Jeho raná léta poznamenala závislost na opiu a období bezdomovectví v Londýně. Po záchraně mecenáši, kteří vydali jeho první sbírku, se věnoval psaní tří básnických knih, esejů a dalších děl. Jeho literární odkaz spočívá v hluboké introspekci a jedinečném stylu, který reflektuje jeho životní zkušenosti.
