LONG
As the premier biographer of Canadian women writers, an inspiring teacher of Canadian literature, an important (and prolific) anthologist, a noted scholar of contemporary poetry and a prize-winning writer of it herself, Rosemary Sullivan has been a major figure in the promulgation as well as the creation of Canadian writing. She has lectured on our literature and read from her own work around the world, but en route she has nurtured an entire generation of young writers. As such public activity testifies, this is no ivory-tower academic; this is an engaged and engaging public intellectual, and an impressive and effective ambassador for Canada and for Canadian literature abroad as well as at home.
