"The Lonely Hunter," by William Sharp (aka and written as "Fiona MacLeod") is a wonderful poem.  Mr. Sharp closely guarded Fiona's identity.  Project Gutenberg has published the memoir on Mr. Sharp, written by his wife, in which the dual identities are (partially) explained.
"William Sharp (Fiona Macleod), A Memoir Compiled by his wife Elizabeth A. Sharp" (1910), by Elizabeth A. Sharp

Carson McCullers, of course, took the title of her book from Mr. Sharp's poem.
