Murdoch Maclean Burnett (9 October 1953 - 20 September 2015) was a Canadian poet, performance artist, editor, and community activist. Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Murdoch Burnett was the seventh of eleven children born to Pat and Jim Burnett. He began writing poetry in the summer of 1971 at the age of seventeen. He left formal education behind at that point and embarked on what he has described as a journey of self-discovery and lifelong learning. He has taught and been a guest lecturer at the Alberta College of Art and Design, Mount Royal University and the University of Calgary. In 1975, he met a local bookseller who would later become a book publisher, George Parry.〔(Article about George Parry ) Parry owned and operated several independent bookstores in Calgary and a small publishing/distribution house, Westlands Book Express Ltd〕 Parry owned and operated a series of bookstores in Calgary including Laughing Rooster Books, Wild Turkey Books, and City Limits. Later he owned and operated a small publishing/distribution house, Westlands Book Express Ltd, which was eventually located in Cochrane, Alberta. Several of Burnett's books would be published by Westlands Book Express, but volumes were also published by Whickey Jack Publishing, Garlic Press, City Limits Communications, Penny Dreadfuls and BookThug.〔(Book Thug Website ) According to its website, BookThug is a Toronto based publishing house that has been in existence since 1992 and publishes innovative books of poetry, prose and creative criticism that extend the tradition of experimental literature.〕 ==Influences== According to Burnett, his work has been influenced by the founders of contemporary poetry – William Blake, Walt Whitman, and Charles Baudelaire – but also reflects his great respect for the early modernist pioneers Ezra Pound, Guillaume Apollinaire, William Carlos Williams, and Gertrude Stein. He has always maintained that the single volume of poetry that most influenced his work was The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot and he is a great admirer of the poetry of Dylan Thomas and the Beat Generation poets, many of whom he met and worked with in their later years.〔A Conversation with Murdoch Burnett, September, 2009〕
