Poems
The Observer. ‘There are charming things in this little book.... Throughout there is a very cunning use of northern place names that stir the imagination like the sound of the Borderers’ riding. “R. L. S.” would have liked these names and used them as cunningly.’

Poems
The Westminster Gazette. ‘The workmanship of these heart-breaking little studies is, as we should expect from Mr. Gibson, honest and exact. Their grim view of human destiny, its all-pervading greyness, is presented with appropriate austerity; and this restraint and detachment increase their vividness and force.... The beautiful sonnets in the section called “Home” show that he, too, is capable of delight.’
The Spectator. ‘Mr. Gibson’s skill is most admirable when we consider that it is allied to poetic feeling of the utmost simplicity and depth.’
