Eldon Grier
Eldon Grier (13 April 1917 – July 2001) was a Canadian poet and artist. Grier is best known for his poems regarding travel and art. Grier’s early poems were influenced by Louis Dudek〔 and Ralph Gustafson.〔 His later works have been compared to those of Al Purdey.〔 Grier has written many poems to painters and sculptors. His poems focus heavily on visual imagery and colours. In 1997 Grier was made a life member of the League of Canadian Poets.〔 ==Biography== Grier was born in London, England and raised in Montreal, Canada.〔Victoria Price, "Eldon Grier Guide to Literary Masters and their works", Great Neck Publishing, 2007〕 He died at the age of 84 in Vancouver, British Columbia.〔 His father was Charles Brockwill Grier and his mother was Kathleen Phyllis Black Grier.〔 His father was captain in the Canadian army.〔 Following his service in the army Charles became a stockbroker and proceeded to send his son to private school. Grier married his first wife [Elizabeth Temple Jamieson) in 1944 and his daughter (Sharon) was born in 1948.〔 Elizabeth and Charles were divorced in 1952 and Grier married his second wife Sylvia Tait in 1954.〔Fraser Sutherland, "Collected and Selected: Five Gems", The Globe and Main, August 4, 2001〕 They had two children together, a daughter named Alexa and a son named Brock.〔 Grier was diagnosed with tuberculosis〔R W Stedingh. (2003).” Aesthetic Distances” Canadian Literature,(176), 144-145,205. Retrieved November 4, 2010, from CBCA Complete〕 in his mid-thirties and underwent treatment for two years before he recovered. Grier started his career as an artist. At age seventeen Grier failed to find financial stability through art. In 1945 he travelled to Mexico to study fresco painting from Alfredo Zalce.〔Rosemary Sullivan, "The Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature”, Oxford University Press, 2005〕 He was apprenticed to Diego Rivera as a plasterer. He later became a professor at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts under Arthur Lismer.〔Douglas Fetherling, "Obituary: Eldon Grier Shunned Bombast of his Peers", The Vancouver Sun, August 4, 2001 pg. E17〕 Eldon Grier travelled Europe from 1955 to 1965.〔 Grier spent his winters in Mexico.〔 He began writing poetry in Spain in 1955. Grier decided to become a poet because he felt that meaning was expressed more effectively though words. He was a modernist.〔 His poems manipulate lines shifts, rhyme and contain complicated stanzaic shapes.〔
