Alison Cole Chiori
Alison Cole Chiori was born in Northern Nigeria, into a family of seven boys,
being the seventh. Amidst the backdrop of the recurring religious conflict in Adamawa state,
he sought refuge in storytelling, utilising words to navigate the complexities of his
environment.
Following his studies at the University of Buckingham, he moved to London. Here, he
channels his experiences and dreams into his writing. He has a BA in English Literature and a
Master’s Degree in Novel-to-Film-Adaptation. Alison blends academic knowledge with
innate storytelling prowess to create what he classifies as timeless pieces.
With two published poetry books and numerous screenplays to his credit, his writing
transcends mere storytelling; it intertwines the strands of reality and imagination. He believes
in the philosophy of freedom, this is mirrored in his decision to write most of his poems in
free verse with prosaic qualities. His passion for daring love poems and thought-provoking
concepts permeates his work, inviting readers to explore the depths of their emotions and
ideas.
For the past three years, he has immersed himself in London’s creative atmosphere, crafting
stories that challenge conventions and provoke introspection. His journey from Nigeria to
London mirrors the universal human quest for expression and understanding. Through his
writing, he endeavours to leave a heartfelt imprint on readers, showcasing the resilience of
the human spirit and the transformative power of storytelling.
