Norman Nicholson (1914-1987) and his poetry are inextricably bound up with the former iron-mining town of Millom, on the edge of the Lake District in Cumbria.
Nicholson was born at a time when the industry that employed most of the town was still booming.
Nicholson also wrote two novels, four verse plays, criticism and an autobiography, Wednesday Early Closing (1975), but it was for his poetry that he received most acclaim, including in 1977 The Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry.

Archive of the Cumbrian poet Norman Nicholson (1914-1987).
Nicholson was a writer in the widest sense: he wrote novels, plays, short stories, topographies, criticism, essays, reviews and biographies, but he was first and foremost a poet.
A strong sense of place permeated his writing, which was largely inspired by the landscape and industry of his native Millom, a small mining town in south-west Cumbria.

 Norman Nicholson's Rising Five - Associated Content
Nicholson was born in Millom, a small coastal town situated on the edge of the Lake District National Park, in the Southerly part of Copeland District.
It was inundated with quarries, mines and furnaces for the smelting of iron ore. Nicholson was known for writing about almost every aspect of human life but most especially about the toughness of life for those who worked in the mines and about the timelessness of the rocks and the presence of the hills.
The conversational tone of the first line of the first stanza of the poem and the direct manner of its rendition gives the impression that there was a conversation between the persona and the poet, with the persona having knowledge of certain information on the character who seemingly is the subject of the poem.

With the Norman conquest of England, beginning in 1066, the Anglo-Saxon language immediately lost its status; the new aristocracy spoke French, and this became the standard language of courts, parliament, and polite society.
As the invaders integrated, their language and that of the natives mingled: the French dialect of the upper classes became Anglo-Norman, and Anglo-Saxon underwent a gradual transition into Middle English.
The 1950s were dominated by three groups of poets, The Movement, The Group and a number of poets that gathered around the label Extremist Art.
