      Henry Lawson, a prominent Australian writer and poet of the colonial era, was born in the Grenfell goldfields of New South Wales. His early education was disrupted by a severe ear infection that led to complete deafness by age fourteen. Despite this challenge, he became an avid reader, influenced by authors like Dickens and Marryat. Lawson's literary career began with his first poem, "A Song of the Republic," published in 1887, followed by notable works such as "The Wreck of the Derry Castle" and "Golden Gully."
