Poetry by John Smith

On December 5, 2002, the Prince Edward Island government announced in the Legislature that Dr. John Smith had been appointed the Island's first Poet Laureate for a two-year term.

During his term, John travelled the Island, hosting readings and lectures about poetry throughout the ages, celebrating the poetic form, and raising public awareness of poetry and of the spoken word.

Professor Emeritus at the University of Prince Edward Island, John Smith was a much-respected and much-loved professor of English for 30 years, whose gift of being able to bring literature alive touched hundreds of students, many of whom have since gone on to become some of the Island's finest writers.

His most recent books include Maps of Invariance (2005), Strands the Length of the Wind (1993) and Midnight Found You Dancing (1986). John Smith lives in Charlottetown
