Wilfred Wilson Gibson

Wilfrid Wilson Gibson (1878–1962), often published as W. W. Gibson, was an English poet associated with the Georgian poets and early 20th-century British verse. Born in Hexham, Northumberland, he was educated at the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle. He became known for poems and verse plays that used plain diction and focused on ordinary lives, especially those of working people. Gibson was linked with the Dymock poets in Gloucestershire during the years around the First World War. His books include *Daily Bread* (1910) and *Fires* (1912). He later lived in London and died there in 1962.
