Author Information

Arthur William Symons was a British poet, critic and magazine editor, born in Milford Haven, Wales in 1865. Symons was educated privately, spending much of his time in France and Italy. At 16, Symons moved to London, where he joined a vibrant literary community and participated, alongside poets like William Butler Yeats, in the notorious Rhymers' Club, a group of poets and writers responsible for witty repartee anthologies such as The Book of the Rhymers' Club (1892), in which Symons's poems appeared. His formal poetry explores romantic love, loss, and the passage of time. Symons's literary career was cut short by a devastating mental breakdown in 1908. His Confessions: A Study in Pathology (1930) has a moving description of his breakdown and treatment.
