Fires Book II - The Ovens And Other Tales

¶ A slim collection of poems, six in all. Gibson was a poet who, like many of his generation, was called to serve in the First World War. However his war experiences were brief [ some would call this a blessing ] and his war poetry does not have the same gravitas, feeling & experience to be found in the poetry of those who spent a long time in the trenches.
