The Mind of JG Julian Journalist, poet and fiction writer discussing everything from Long Island baseball to film and television to US politics to global literature IF by Rudyard Kipling (A Life Changing Poem) Review Joju John Rudyard Kipling was a prolific poet, novelist and journalist and one of the most well-known Victorian writers of his time.in 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his great body of work which included 'The Jungle Book' and his stoic poem 'If'. Heretics G. K. Chesterton The Author Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England on the 29th of May, 1874.
