Richard Church, born in 1893, was a novelist, poet, and writer of several autobiographies. Born in southeast of London, Church was quite fond of country-style living, and this is shown in many of his poems. Church also contributed to several magazines dealing with country living. Some of Church's best-known poems include The Flood of Life, The Dream, and The Solitary Man.
Church was a mystical sort of man, and found great meaning in things other people might just look right past, which may be why he became such a popular poet. As a child, he came to the conclusion that time and space are not definite articles linked together, and he wrote part of one of his three autobiographies on the subject. Church died suddenly in 1972.
