Aleksandër Stavre Drenova (Asdreni)

Aleksandër Stavre Drenova, known as Asdreni, was born on 11 April 1872 in Drenovë, near Korça, into an Orthodox peasant family. He had just begun secondary school in Korça when his father's death drew him away from it; in 1885, he joined his older brothers in Bucharest, where he lived in exile from then on and took part in the diaspora movement for the country's liberation. He published three collections of poems, in 1904, 1912 and 1930, and translated. He died in poverty in Bucharest on 11 December 1947.
