Biography
Austin Clarke, while agreeing that the book was too much influenced by Yeats, observed that the poem "Saint Apollinare in Classe" 'anticipated the romanticism of the Byzantine poems' of Yeats. Wilson's poem "Elegy in a Presbyterian Burying-Ground" was included in the 1974 Faber Book of Irish Verse. Other books included: • Equinox, T. • Raghley, O Raghley: and other poems, (Edinburgh: Printed for Lawrence Wilson by Robert Mitchell and Sons, 1955).
Wilson (1899–1953) was a poet.
