Helen ThomasHelen Thomas married Edward Thomas (1878-1917) in 1899. In order to support his family, Edward became a prolific writer of essays, introductions, reviews, biographies, and studies of the English and Welsh countryside. Thomas's meeting with Robert Frot in 1913 was the catalyst for his turning to poetry. His first collection was published in 1917, six months after his death in the Arras offensive.
