Vincent Ferrini was born in Saugus, Massachusetts on June 24, 1913. Vincent's parents, John and Rita Ferrini, were Christian anarchists who emigrated from Riano and Bella, Italy in the province of Abruzzi to work in the shoe factories of Lynn, Massachusetts. Vincent's experience working in the shoe factories would instill a sensitivity for the life of the poor. Ignoring his father's warning that the son of a shoe worker could never become a poet, Vincent published his first volume of poetry, "No Smoke" in 1940. He pursued his education in the Lynn Public Library and when the Great Depression hit, the young bard found work as a teacher in the WPA. In 1943, Mike Gold of the Daily Worker praised "Injunction", a collection of working class vignettes set against the backdrop of World War II. In 1942 he married and left his job at General Electric to make a living as a frame maker. Ferrini remained an academic outsider who never made a living solely from his writing. With vigor, creativity, and compassion he kept publishing for over 67 years, producing 31 volumes of poetry, four volumes of plays, and an autobiography. Vincent is the subject of his nephew Henry Ferrini's film Poem in Action. He also is interviewed briefly in Henry's film about Vincent's colleague Charles Olson entitled Polis is this.
