Born to the challenges of poverty and a rural life, Canadian poet, journalist and novelist Alden Nowlan wrote twenty-four books and plays in just twenty-seven years. Making a living through journalism and a life through poetry, Nowlan earned sufficient respect from small magazines and publishers to eventually permit full-time writing. the personal happinesses of marriage to Claudine Orser, an affectionate relationship with son John, and the 1967 book of poems Bread, Wine and Salt, were soon followed with an Arts grants from the Canada Counci, a Guggenheim fellowship and the 1968 Governor General's Award For Poetry. In 1968 Nowlan became writer in residence at the University of New Brunswick, a position he filled until his death in 1983.
