Krindlesyke By: Wilfrid Wilson Gibson (1878-1962)
Krindlesyke by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson is a deeply touching and thought-provoking collection of poems that delves into the raw emotions of the human experience. As the reader immerses themselves in the words and imagery crafted by the talented author, they are confronted with the harsh realities of life, love, and loss. The poems in this collection are hauntingly beautiful, exploring themes such as death, grief, and the often painful but inescapable nature of existence. Gibson's writing style is both contemporary and classical, combining lyrical language with a modern sensibility that makes the poems accessible to a wide range of readers. One of the strongest aspects of Krindlesyke is Gibson's ability to evoke deep empathy within his readers. Each poem strikes a chord in the heart, resonating with the vast array of human emotions and experiences. Whether it is the loss of a loved one or the search for meaning in an often chaotic world, the author's words have an uncanny ability to touch the deepest depths of one's soul. Moreover, the imagery employed throughout the collection is both vivid and evocative. Gibson's mastery lies in his ability to paint vivid pictures in the mind of the reader, creating a sensory experience that immerses them in the words. The visceral descriptions of both joy and suffering propel the reader into a realm of emotional intensity rarely seen in modern poetry. In addition to the emotional depth present in Krindlesyke, Gibson also tackles larger existential questions. He delves into the nature of our existence, reflecting on the human condition and the transitory nature of life. These introspective musings offer a profound sense of contemplation and encourage readers to reflect on their own place in the world. If there is one aspect of this collection that may deter some readers, it is the occasionally dark and melancholic tone present throughout the poems. While this may not suit those seeking light-hearted or uplifting verse, there is a beauty in acknowledging and grappling with the darker aspects of life. Overall, Krindlesyke is a powerful and emotionally charged collection of poetry that captivates from the first page to the last. Wilfrid Wilson Gibson's ability to touch a deep well of human emotion through his evocative words is a testament to his skill as a poet. This collection is not to be missed by anyone seeking a profound exploration of the human experience.

NOTE

On the occasion of an obscure dramatic presentation, an early and rudimentary draft of Book I. was published in 1910. It has since been entirely re written. Book II., written 1919 22, has not been printed hitherto. Though the work was not conceived with a view to stage production, the author reserves the acting rights.

It may be added that, while "Krindlesyke" is not in dialect, it has been flavoured with a sprinkling of local words; but as these are, for the most part, words expressive of emotion, rather than words conveying information, the sense of them should be easily gathered even by the south country reader.
