Poetry and Discussion with David Gilbey

October 16, 2010 By Michael Lambe Leave a Comment

David Gilbey’s poems are often stories full of wit and tenderness… he writes
of family matters with humour, irony and delicacy. He is always original, sweetly relishing the world , its absurdities and its richness. A poet of the people, never pretentious or obscure, he has a clear voice which goes straight to the heart of  the matter.
– Kate Llewellyn
