She attended university in Ottawa and Toronto, where she received a Ph.D. in English literature in mehr anzeigen 1964. In 1957, Oxford University Press published what subsequently became her best-known work, "The Boatman" (1957), winner of the Governor General's Award. Poems "Twice Told" (1981) reprints "The Boatman" and "Welcoming Disaster" (1974) in one volume.
