Bill Siret was born in 1929 and served in Palestine 1947-8, an experience which greatly influenced him. Some of this was explored in his poem Apology To The Palestine People.
Bill was a late developing poet – an active trade unionist, he began his work around the time of the Miners’ Strike of 1984-5. Later he would attend “open mike” sessions of the Oxford Poets Cooperative at the Victoria Arms.
Bill’s work is worthy of support.
