    I was from Ireland, and I lived from 1828-1862. Print or Buy my poetry? View comments Add to favorites? Fitz-James O'Brien was an Irishman who immigrated to New York in 1852. He wrote most commonly for periodicals, publishing many short stories and poems. He was once referred to as "Poe in a minor mode". This referred to the dark, horrific nature surrounding many of his pieces. Although the feel of his work was most definately one of horror, he is often considered one of the early science fiction writers, as his works showed the beginnings of the genre.
    While still in Ireland, he attended the University of Dublin, where he began writing verse. While still at the university, he published several of his poems in anthologies of Irish poetry. After university, he is said to have served fr a time in the British army, before immigrating to New York. In the United States, he joined the New York National Guard, in hopes of serving. This was eventually his undoing, as he died of tetanus from a wound he recieved while serving.

http://www.poetry-archive.com/o/kane.html
KANE by: Fitz-James O'Brien (1828-1862)
    LOFT upon an old basaltic crag,
    Which, scalped by keen winds that defend the Pole,
    Gazes with dead face on the seas that roll
    Around the secret of the mystic zone,
    A mighty nation's star-bespangled flag
    Flutters alone,
    And underneath, upon the lifeless front
    Of that drear cliff, a simple name is traced;
    Fit type of him who, famishing and gaunt,
    But with a rocky purpose in his soul,
    Breasted the gathering snows,
    Clung to the drifting floes,
    By want beleaguered, and by winter chased,
    Seeking the brother lost amid the frozen waste.
    Not many months ago we greeted him,
    Crowned with the icy honors of the North,
    Across the land his hard-won fame went forth,
    And Maine's deep woods were shaken limb by limb.
    His own mild Keystone State, sedate and prim,
    Burst from decorous quiet as he came.
    Hot Southern lips, with eloquence aflame,
    Sounded his triumph. Texas, wild and grim,
    Proffered its horny hand. The large-lunged West,
    From out his giant breast,
    Yelled its frank welcome. And from main to main

Fitz-James O'Brien and the Microscope
In a short life of 33 years, Fitz-James O'Brien (1828-1862) established himself as a competent and imaginative writer, and was in fact something of an innovator in the frenetic and economically perilous literary life of his day. Some have placed him as the best American writer of short stories between Poe (1809 -1849) and Bret Harte (1836-1902), and he was certainly admired by his literary colleagues. His work, at its best, stands for itself. The Diamond Lens could be used as a texbook example of the application of Poe's Philosophy of Composition , with which O'Brien would have had to be familiar: a carefully-crafted tone, an economical style in which few superfluities of language can be detected, and a slow accelerando of pace to a denouement which is inevitable from the beginning, yet still riveting. Crucial to the success of the story is the blending of hard fact with extreme fantasy, the juxtaposition of technology and mysticism, a convincing and "scientific" setting against which is played an unworldly romance. The story was well received by public and critics, and established O'Brien as a lion of literary New York. It is important to remember that the impact on fiction-writing and public taste of Poe's detective stories and his stories dealing with the outre was only beginning to be felt. Critics who cite O'Brien's style as "florid" and "naive when it is not a little pompous and literary" should perhaps give more consideration to the cultural context of the work; the same can be said of Poe even more. Consider, too, that in the literary circles of the time, one wrote for the admiration of one's literary friends as well as for that of the public.
