“This is the West, seen first hand but seen through the perspective of Mr Knibbs’ Harvard training. One may suspect that these westerners are a bit more intellectual than the average cowpuncher, but the poems perhaps are the more readable for it.” C. F. G.

“Good, honest work of its kind, with occasional beauty and much narrative interest. ‘The wind’ is a strong and individual poem, especially fine in atmosphere and imagery. Mr Knibbs is far more of a poet than the much advertised Robert W. Service.”
