He started writing seriously in the early 1960's. As is the case with so many writers, Casisi felt a confinement from which he had to escape. In the early 1970's he made it to the shores of North America where he held down a variety of jobs, from a goldminer in obscure parts of the province of Ontario to teacher and guidance counselor in the high schools of different Canadian provinces, to teacher and guidance counselor in inner city schools of New York City. His love of writing and his travels combine to make No Apologies a most interesting book.
