Forgotten Ground Regained

Withowinde author

Brian Wright

Brian Wright (1946-2017) was born, and lived throughout his life, in Hillingdon, Middlesex. He had a passion for English history and language. Having left school without qualifications he completed a degree as a mature student in the 1980s at the (then) West London Institute of Higher Education. This education gave him confidence in his voice as a poet and he was awarded a prize for his work. He was also a highly skilled, self trained, amateur carpenter.
His alliterative verse includes the following poems, originally published in Withowinde, and is reprinted on this site with the permission of his family:
