About Harri Webb
Harri Webb was a Welsh poet, Welsh nationalist, journalist and librarian. Webb's first collection of poetry, The Green Desert, was published in 1969. As Webb became increasingly involved in poetry and politics, he adopted the Welsh spelling Harri for his name in 1950. While in Merthyr Tydfil, Webb lived in the squat Garth Newydd, an old house that had been given to the town during the Great Depression, and subsequently seemingly belonged to nobody; when Webb first moved in it was occupied by a group of pacifists.
