Henry Lawson was a very famous Australian poet and writer and his work has inspired many people all around the world.
He was born in 1867, into a goldfield in NSW where his father started working, and they were very poor. He didn’t get a very good education but his mother was very supportive, so she gave him some books. He was shy and sensitive, and didn’t at all look like a country boy; even his mother thought that this was a bit strange.
When he turned 14 he was totally deaf and all the kids at school bullied him, and he turned into a loner.
He always believed things would get better, but it seemed he didn't have any luck in life.
His writing was a way for him to express his feelings.
