  NYT book review, Jan. 11, 1914, "The Moon Maiden: A Volume of Delicate Faery Verse : This slender volume of verse is a fresh instance showing how eternally youthful is the modern human being of whatever age. For, although Mrs. Gibson, who is the wife of Judge and ex-Congressman Henry R. Gibson of Knoxville, Tennessee, is nearing her eightieth year, her poems show a delicacy, freshness and buoyancy of imagination that one would expect to find in the morning rather than in the evening of an author's life."  A rare book of poetry from an American female author.
