In the final eleven years of his life, Wright was head of the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts.

[7] In 1915 Wright published a book of poems, One Way of Love (London: Elkin Mathews), which was "strikingly Uranian" in nature.

[12] The choristers in his poems "are pagan demons in a Christian setting, 'childish Galahads in passionate red, / Each with his weight of crushing, golden hair'".

"[14] The Scotsman reviewed the volume as being "Calm, austere, and contemplative in feeling" as well as "always elevated in thought, and both smooth and scholarly, if sometimes disappointingly cold, in expression".

The same issue contains a short story by Wright, 'Ganymede', about his encounter with a youth urinating on the flower beds of the Luxembourg Gardens, who "turns out to be Ganymede – the most unobtainable and most desirable of all boys".
