Iwan Gilkin

1858–1924

Iwan Gilkin (1858–1924) was a Belgian poet born in Brussels and associated with the Symbolist school in Belgium.

Jethro Bithell's 1911 anthology classes him as a Walloon with a Flemish mother and names him among the chief Parnassians, noting that his later Prométhée is nevertheless in free verse.
