The poem The Hound of Heaven is famous for its extraordinary, haunting images of being hunted down by God, yet the life of its author was just as extraordinary. Francis Thompson was a failed priest, medical student and an opium addict who spent years living rough on the streets of London. Writer Michael Symmons Roberts hunts the tortured genius who wrote some of the late-19th century's most powerful and visionary poetry.

"I fled Him, down the nights and down the days; I fled Him, down the arches of the years" (FrancisThompson, above)
Hound of Heaven
11.30am R4
You may not know much about Francis Thompson (1859-1907) but you may well have read his most famous poem, The Hound of Heaven, a rather disturbing, dramatic take on the "you can run but you can't hide" line, in which God is the relentless pursuer. Writer Michael Symmons Roberts takes us on a journey following in the none-too-steady footsteps of this visionary poet (opium addiction not known for its stabilising effect). Both men were born in Preston (starting point for this documentary), both came from Catholic families and both ended up as poets. Thankfully, Symmons Roberts has never lived on the streets of London, battled with a dangerous drug problem, nor been pulled from under the wheels of a carriage by a kindly prostitute, as happened to Thompson ! Along the route, actor Ken Bradshaw voices some imaginary dialogue between Thompson and Symmons Roberts, as well as reading from his poems.

With Winifred Robinson and John Waite.
