Hunter Thompson at the bottom.
And that russian poet, Mayakowsky or something.
No idea who the other 2 are, though I recognise the top one... but I think he just looks like my mate.

correct
and correct. Mayakovsky. He's the only Russian here.
The other two are also American writers.

When I seen the title and the author's name, I thought blimey Ghost is talking about himself again. Thank heavens though he was referring to a real genius.
Tell me who they are then you beast. I was thinking Burroughs but he shot his wife and not himself.
Second from top is a young Ernest Hemingway.

I believe that's our ruskie poet. It's the top two that are being all elusive.

From Wiki:
Three months later, back in Ketchum, Mary "found Hemingway holding a shotgun". His personal physician Dr. Saviers arrived, sedated him, and admitted him to the Sun Valley hospital; from there he was returned to the Mayo for more shock treatments.[145] He was released in late June and arrived home in Ketchum on June 30. Two days later, in the early morning hours of July 2, 1961, Hemingway "quite deliberately" shot himself with his favorite shotgun.[146] He unlocked the basement storeroom where his guns were kept, went upstairs to the front entrance foyer of their Ketchum home, and "pushed two shells into the twelve-gauge Boss shotgun ...put the end of the barrel into his mouth, pulled the trigger and blew out his brains." Hemingway's chin, mouth, and lower cheeks were left, but the upper half of his head was blown away.[147] Mary called the Sun Valley Hospital, and Dr. Scott Earle arrived at the house within "fifteen minutes". Despite his finding that Hemingway "had died of a self-inflicted wound to the head", the story told to the press was that the death had been "accidental".[148]
Jesus H!

Just like that 3 stone fella with the rotten teeth that you see on the high st that's a dithering mess and his bird is so scrawny that size 6 leggings look like joggin bottoms, the one that will mug your nan to buy his scag.

Aha. One to go. I can't find a photo of that John O'Brien - the Vegas writer (Leaving Las Vegas) - although to be fair, he's probably not 'genius' stature. Just the only other writer I can think of that shot himself...
Yeah, I meant second from top. I've edited it now. That top one's bugging the hell out of me. I recognise them but can't put a name to the face.

I propose GhostofDixie as a tortured genius. It is so evident.
