He was also a published poet. His first book, published in 1925, The Thread of Ariadne, was based on that thesis. The same year he moved to Venice to write and research on the Italian renaissance. Two events in the late 1920s would change his life and art-historical writings profoundly. In 1926, Stokes met Ezra Pound at Rapallo, Italy. In early January 1930 he began treatment for a number of ills with the psychoanalyst Melanie Klein (1882-1960). Pound's literary conception of the Italian renaissance figured strongly in Stokes's writing about art, beginning with articles in The Criterion, edited by T. S. Eliot and published by Faber & Faber, the publisher of many of Stokes's books, beginning with The Quattro Cento: A Different Conception of the Italian Renaissance, 1932, and Stones of Rimini, 1934.
