Thomas Archibald Marshall (April 9, 1938 – April 28, 1993) was a Canadian poet, critic and novelist.[1]
Born in Niagara Falls, Ontario,[1] he grew up in the United States.[2] He was educated at Queen's University in Kingston, where he received his MA in 1965, writing his thesis on poet A. M. Klein.[1][3] Marshall taught at the institution from 1964 until his death.[1]
Marshall was the author of numerous poetry collections and novels,[1] the poetry editor of Canadian Forum and the chief editor of Quarry.[3]
At the time of his death in 1993, Marshall had completed a final novel, The Adventures of John Montgomery.[4] The novel was posthumously published in 1995, and was reissued in 2014 as part of a series of historical novels set in Kingston.[4] The Essential Tom Marshall, an anthology of his poetry compiled by David Helwig and Michael Ondaatje, was published in 2012.[3]
