A Few Years In The Life of a Protest Poet

by Lori Crasnich

Overview

'I began writing poetry/ditties shortly after moving down to Cornwall back in 1977. It's amazing how inspirational the lapping of the tidal waves can be. Whilst working on a building, I began writing poems about all the different workers on the toilet walls. These were humorous and inoffensive, and although I'd written about the gaffer, he must have liked them, as he never sacked me.  'The pandemic caused me to put my thoughts down on paper, ranging from what we've done to this planet and its wildlife, to how the Government has dealt with each situation, good or bad.'  Lori Crasnich

About the Author

Born in Italy in a small north-eastern village called Torso, he came over to Birmingham with his family in 1955, aged four. He came first in the fourth year English exam: didn’t go too well with his classmates! Moving to Cornwall in his 20s, he dabbled in poetry while working on a building site. His varied career included being the landlord of a number of Cornish pubs. He returned to Birmingham in 2000 after his divorce. He met his Caribbean Queen and married her in Gretna Green in 2017. He is now as happy as a pig in chiffon!
