November Gold

November Gold has been published to commemorate 140 years since Wilfrid Wilson Gibson’s birth in 1878 – and to present an anthology to a new generation of readers as well as those familiar with Gibson’s poems.

Known as one of the Dymock Poets, an author of war poetry and classics such as Flannan Isle, The Golden Room and Northumberland, Gibson also wrote with great understanding and emotion in the voice of early 20th century working men and women; his characters seem to come to life through his words. Lesser known work feature fellow poet Rupert Brooke, Hexham Abbey, Stagshaw Bank Fair and poems about pit ponies, hirings, haymaking and shepherding.
144 pages, 210mm x 148mm. Hardback book, full colour dust jacket.
