Norman Cornthwaite Nicholson OBE (8 January 1914 - 30 May 1987), was an English poet associated with the Cumbrian town of Millom. His poetry is noted for its local concerns, straightforward language, and elements of common speech. Although it is poetry for which he is chiefly known, he wrote many works in other forms: novels, plays, essays, topography and criticism. This was his first volume of collected verse. Nicholson's Lake District is not the Lake District of the Tourist Board, not Hawkshead and Windermere, but the industrial coastal towns of Millom, Egremont, Whitehaven, Bootle and Askam. His admirers included T. S. Eliot and Ted Hughes, and Seamus Heaney. Ref K7.…
