biography
Moore published his two Poems privately in 1890 , followed by The Vinedresser and other Poems as his first regular publication in 1899 . The Vinedresser and other Poems impressed Laurence Binyon , who then introduced Moore to William Butler Yeats , which resulted in a lifelong friendship between the two. In 1901 he founded the Literary Theater Club with Florence Farr and Thomas Ricketts . In 1904 Moore, who illustrated books by Yeats, among others, was accepted into the Society of Twelve , a group of wood cutters and lithographers .
In 1911 Moore was accepted into the Royal Society of Literature and in 1912, at a time when he had started to translate Rabindranath Tagore , he socialized with Harold Monro and went to his poetry bookshop. Edward Marsh added his contributions to the Georgian Poetry 1911-12 (1912) collection. Between 1931 and 1933 his Collected Poems appeared in 4 volumes.
