Thomas Stanley Brown

A young (at the time) poet from Boston and an avid fan of Grams Parsons who composed the lyrics to the song, Return of the Grievous Angel.

Brown was studying poetry in Cambridge at the time, and was a huge fan of Parsons. Gram's music inspired Brown to write a poem and send it to Parson to consider setting it to music. According to Brown, he composed the lyrics in about twenty minutes.
