Author Biography
John Glassco (1909-1981) published two books of poetry, The Deficit Made Flesh (1958) and A Point of Sky (1964) in addition to Selected Poems (1971). He also wrote Memoirs of Montparnasse (1970 & 1995), a popular account of his days in Paris in the 1920s. Well-known for his skill as a translator, Glassco edited (and translated in part) the important collection, The Poetry of French Canada (1970) as well as the journals and poems of Saint Denys Garneau, Monique Bosco's, Lot's Wife (1970) and Jean-Charles Harvey's Fear's Folly/Les demi-civilises (1982).
Michael Gnarowski, formerly Professor of English at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, has written an introduction giving a brief account of Glassco's life and has supplied some annotation.
