Anne Marriott (November 5, 1913 – October 10, 1997)〔Curtis, Jenefer, “Lives Lived"〕 was a Canadian writer who won the Governor General’s Award for her book ''Calling Adventurers!'' "She was renowned especially for the narrative poem ''The Wind, Our Enemy,''" which she wrote while still in her twenties.〔"(Marriott, Joyce Anne )," ''Canadian Encyclopedia'' (Edmonton: Hurtig, 1988), 1309.〕 ==Life== Because of ''The Wind Our Enemy'', Marriott is often thought to be from one of Canada's prairie provinces. In fact she was born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia (the daughter of Catherine Heley and Edward Guy Marriott), and lived most of her life in that province. As a girl she spent several summers with relatives on a farm in Saskatchewan, which formed the basis of experience for many of her earlier poems.〔Stubbs, Andrew and Jeanette Stein, “Anne Marriott, Frontier Poet”〕〔 Marriott took creative writing classes at the University of British Columbia. She was active in British Columbia’s literary community as "a productive poet and poetry-educator in the 1940s." She served on the editorial board of ''Contemporary Verse,''〔 which she founded with Dorothy Livesay, Floris McLaren, Doris Ferne and Alan Crawley in 1941.〔Hilda Thomas, "((Joyce) Anne Marriott )," ''Dictionary of Literary Biography'', Bookrags.com, Web, May 4, 2010.〕 In 1945 Anne Marriott moved to Ottawa and worked as an editor for the National Film Board.〔 After marrying Gerald McLellan in 1947, Marriott returned with him to British Columbia, where they adopted and raised three children.〔 Marriott worked as a script writer from 1945 to 1949, a reporter and editor from 1950 to 1953 and an assistant librarian from 1953 to 1958.〔"Selected Poetry of Anne Marriott: (Note on Life and Work )," Representative Poetry Online, UToronto.ca, Web, Apr. 21, 2011.〕 Marriott remained active in the literary community and prepared multiple scripts for the CBC.〔〔Donald, B. “Papers of Anne Marriott”, p. 9〕 Following the 1974 death of her husband, she became involved in producing poetry workshops for young people.〔 In the 1980s Anne Marriott published multiple volumes of poetry and a volume of short stories. Marriott died in Vancouver following a stroke. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anne Marriott」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
