Biography of Wilfrid Wilson Gibson (1878-1962)

Probably one of the most ignored and underrated poets of the First World War, Wilfrid Wilson Gibson wrote some of the most moving and realistic trench-life poems of that era. The reason that his poetry is so unusual is that he never went to the front, in fact, he served out his time during the War in England. This lack of first-hand experience in no way affected Gibson‚Äö?Ñ?¥s ability to create an atmosphere in his poems or to describe with vivid reality the horrors of the trenches. His unique poetry is always thought-provoking and never fails to impress. Here we have provided a detailed biography of Gibson's life before, during and after the war, including his friendship with Rupert Brooke.
