Gibson, Wilfrid Wilson, 1878-1962
Poet Wilfrid Wilson Gibson was born and raised in northern England; he was home schooled and never attended college, and was considered mild and reclusive. A prolific poet, his verse evolved over time; his early work was inspired by Tennyson, while his mature poems were direct and dramatic. He was often associated with the Georgian movement, distinguished by realism and sentimentality. Many of his later poems show a social awareness, focussing on the working class and commonplace experiences. He fought in World War I, and experimented with verse plays
