Ann Elizabeth Carson

Born in 1929 in Toronto, Ann began writing and publishing in high school, continued during her undergraduate university years and while raising a family. In 1970 she earned a Master's in Adult Education and Counselling at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and worked for many years as a counsellor, supervisor and instructor at York University. Ann Elizabeth Carson, poet, writer, artist, feminist and psychotherapist, was selected as one of Toronto's Mille Femme at the 2008 Luminato Festival, which paid tribute to women who have made a contribution to the arts. Her latest book, The Risks of Remembrance, (Words Indeed ) distills a life's experience in poetry and visual images.
