Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Marshall, Tom, 1938-1993 : Poet, novelist, critic and editor, Tom Marshall, was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario in 1938 and lived in the United States during his childhood. He received a B.A. in History (1961) and an M.A. in English (1965) from Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario where he completed his thesis on A.M. Klein. He began teaching at Queen's in 1964. His interest in poetry led to involvement in editing the student literary magazine Quarry and to the position as poetry editor for the Canadian Forum. Marshall published six books of poetry between 1969 and 1980 and prepared critical works on D.H. Lawrence and A.M. Klein, as well as a series of critical essays on major Canadian writers collected as "Harsh and Lovely Land: The Major Canadian Poets and the Making of a Canadian Tradition" (1978). His "Playing with Fire" (1984) and "Dance of the Particles" (1984) are lyrical long poems depicting spiritual themes. He produced several psychological novels "Adele at the End of the Day" (1987), "Changelings: A Double Fugue" (1991) and "Goddess Disclosing" (1992) in which he explored ecological and feminist themes. His collections of essays "Ghost Safari" (1990) and "Multiple Exposures: Promised Lands" (1992) are reflections on the lives and works of contemporary Canadian poets and fiction writers. Marshall died in Kingston, Ontario in 1993.
