A. J. M. Smith

Arthur James Marshall Smith (November 8, 1902 – November 21, 1980) was a Canadian poet. Born in Montreal, he became a student at McGill University. While a student there in 1925 he founded the "McGill Fortnightly Review" alongside F.R. Scott. The "Review" was one of the first Canadian periodicals to publish modern poetry. Smith received his doctorate from the University of Edinburgh in 1931. In 1936 he became a professor at Michigan State University and taught there until his retirement in 1972. He was well known both as a scholar on and author of poetry, with many of his best known works focusing on Canadian themes. He won the 1943 Governor General's Award for poetry or drama for "News of the Phoenix and Other Poems", and in 1961 was awarded the Lorne Pierce Medal.
