BIOGRAPHY
Daphne Marlatt was born in 1942 in Melbourne, Australia. She moved with her family to North Vancouver in 1951. Marlatt studied English at the University of British Columbia from 1960-1964, and while there, she worked as an editor of TISH. She was awarded a Master's of Comparative Literature from Indiana University in 1968. Upon completion of that degree, Marlatt returned to B.C. and settled in Victoria, where she has lived since. Marlatt has published fourteen books of poetry, as well as several collections of fiction and non-fiction. She has worked as Writer-in-Residence at universities across Canada.

The Canadian Women Poets website is co-owned and maintained by Marilyn Rose and Erica Kelly,
