About Hubert Church
Lived 1857 – 1932 (aged 74). Hubert Church was a poet.
Hubert Newman Wigmore Church (13 June 1857 – 8 April 1932) was a New Zealand-Australian poet.
Biography Church was born in Hobart, Tasmania, on 13 June 1857. He was the son of Hubert Day Church, a lawyer and his wife Mary Ann Church.
In 1909, the Bulletin, writing about his latest book, Egmont, said: "we find much that is good, nothing that is the best... Church is never slovenly in his expression. At his best he is simple, direct, and restrained."
Of the second edition of Poems in 1912, the Melbourne Herald said "he has perhaps been somewhat too easily satisfied with his results, and at times one wishes that he would clarify and compress his thought and impart a little more variety and melody to his blank verse".
