História biográfica

Carolyn Smart was born in England in 1952, and immigrated to Canada with her parents six years later. Smart grew up within the diplomatic community of Rockcliffe Park but at age 11 returned to England to attend boarding school on the coast of Sussex. Coming back to Canada, Smart lived in Toronto where she attended Bishop Strachan high school. It was there that she began writing poetry. Her first poem was published when she was 17 in an anthology called Vibrations, edited by Gage publishing and intended for study in schools. Smart attended the University of Toronto, where she majored in English Literature and Far Eastern Religion. Upon graduation in 1973, Smart worked as an editorial assistant for Doubleday Canada and then at Macmillan's as a poetry editor and publicist. Moving to Winnipeg for two years, she began work with the provincial government, editing the Manitoba Budget Address and organising interprovincial conferences for the office of the Premier. Back in Toronto she continued studying poetry with Joe Rosenblatt and Pier Giorgio di Cicco, and gave her first public reading in 1977. She worked at various part-time jobs including selling clothes at the Eaton Centre and freelance copy-editing. Her first Canada Council grant enabled her to begin writing full-time in 1979 and her first collection of poetry, Swimmers in Oblivion (York Publishing), was published in 1981. Other publications followed: Power Sources (Fiddlehead, 1984), Stoning the Moon (Oberon, 1989), The Way To Come Home (Brick Books, 1993), and At the End of the Day, a memoir (Penumbra Press, 2001). In 1992, Smart was shortlisted for a National Magazine Award for her poem “The Sound of the Birds”, published in Quarry magazine. In 1993, Smart won the CBC's Literary Contest in the Personal Essay Category for a portion of her memoir At the End of The Day. Smart's poems and essays have been published in over 150 magazines in Canada, the US, Britain, India and Australia. She continues to publish poetry and teaches both on-line for Writers In Electronic Residence and as director of Creative Writing at Queen's University. She has edited the anthology Lake Effect: An Anthology of Work by the Creative Writing Students at Queen's University, since 2003.
