Warren Ambrose Dibble (21 February 1931 – 27 July 2014) was a New Zealand poet and playwright.
Early life and family
Dibble was born in Palmerston North on 21 February 1931, the son of Victor Thomas Dibble and Alma Dibble (née Edgecombe).[1][2] His father was secretary of the Manawatu Racing Club, and committed suicide by gunshot in December 1932, having suffered from depression and what would now be understood as post-traumatic stress disorder following his service in World War I.[3][4]
Writing career
Dibble was awarded the Robert Burns Fellowship from the University of Otago in 1969.[5] Ralph Hotere, who was the Frances Hodgkins Fellow at Otago also in 1969,[6] incorporated some of Dibble's poems into his artwork.[7] Dibble wrote plays for television, theatre and radio, including Killing of Kane, based on the deeds of Tītokowaru in Taranaki in the 1860s,[7] the anti-Vietnam war theatrical cartoon Operation Pigstick,[8][9] the one-off tele-drama Double Exposure,[10] Lord, Dismiss Us… and Lines to M.[11]
Dibble moved to Sydney in the 1970s and died there in 2014.[12]
