Patricia Kathleen Page was born in England, in 1916, when she was 3 years older, Page's family moved to Canada. Because her father was in the military, the family spent time in different cities, including Calgary, Montreal, and Saint John, N.B.
Page began publishing her poems in periodicals in the late 1930s and also began writing books.
Page published more than a dozen books — spanning poetry, fiction, non-fiction and children's literature — and also developed a parallel career as an accomplished painter, after studying under artists in Brazil and New York.
She was died in 2009, and she was 93 years old.
She was one of our early explorers in poetry. She's one of the ones who made it possible for Canadian poets to believe in themselves," B.C. poet Lorna Crozier told CBC News.
