Thyrea by John Ferguson: 'Not mine the wasted frame, the desperate case''

John Ferguson was born on the 18th August 1881 in Stirling in Scotland.

He attended the High School there and little other information is available.

It is known that he worked primarily in the banking industry.

His literary canon is exceedingly small, this being the only volume of his poems ever published. What is known is that he suffered from ill-health and these poems were written whilst in a sanitorium.

The book itself was very successful after its publication in 1912, with at least 14 editions published during his lifetime.

John Ferguson died on the 8th March 1928 and is buried in the cemetery at Stirling Castle. He was 46.
