About the author
John Smith (1927) taught high school English in Toronto, and earned an MA in English at the University of Toronto. In 1967, he moved to Prince Edward Island, where he was a professor of English at the University of Prince Edward Island until his retirement in 1992. Smith's new manuscript is a collection of sonnets called Fireflies in the Magnolia Grove.
