Drinkers of Phosphorous and other Songs of Joy, originally published as Rimes de Joie, in 1881, and here presented in its first English translation by Richard Robinson, was Th odore Hannon's second book of poetry.
It has the rare and double cachet of, firstly, having a preface by J.
Huysmans, and subsequently being lauded by Huysmans' hero Des Esseintes in the great Decadent novel Rebours.
A painter, artist, scenarist, theatrical-parodist and poet, Hannon was influent.
