Poetry
Snow published two volumes of poetry; Contrasts in 1971 by Fuller d'Arch Smith Limited and Moments and Thoughts in 1973 by Kaye and Ward Limited. Both collections are contained in his autobiography Cricket Rebel. One poem Lord's Test "penned in verse my feelings and impressions about what it is like to play at the headquarters of world cricket". during the Test against the West Indies in 1969, where he took 5/114 in the first innings. A television firm heard of the poem and arranged to film him at Lord's in the First Test against New Zealand later that summer. They could then make a fifteen minute programme about his poem with John Betjeman, but this was cancelled when Snow was dropped for ill-discipline. Link to poem Dropped
