Another poet we shouldn't ignore
A POETS' memorial in Glebe Park what a great idea! (Robert
Macklin's column, October 6, p.3). However, I am saddened by the
omission of one name from the list nominated by Geoff Page, although
the five he nominated are indeed worthy of recognition. Perhaps the
following extract from one of his poems will revive the memory of this
great writer and poet:
I am a poet
after all
you do know me
in all your humanness
I have lived your moments
we know ourselves, confess
and hold me close and deeper
hold me warm and tight
for we are poets together
we embrace each day and night
we are immortal talk to me.
One of his greatest poems was his own epitaph. His name? Kevin
Gilbert!
