Joe Corrie (1894-1968) was a Scottish miner, poet and playwright best known for his radical, working class plays. He was born in Slamannan, Stirlingshire but his family moved to Cardenden in the Fife coalfield when Corrie was still an infant and he started work at the pits in 1908. Shortly after the First World War, Corrie started writing. His articles, sketches, short stories and poems were published in prominent socialist newspapers and journals. T.S Eliot described him as 'the greatest Scots poet since Burns.' He died in Edinburgh in 1968. Many of Corrie's poems, including   'I Am the Common Man' have been set to music. In 2013, The Joe Corrie Project: Cage Load of Men - a collection of poems set to contemporary and traditional music - was released. Courtesy John and Aithne Barron.
