Life and careerHelwig was born in Toronto, Ontario, where he spent his early childhood years. When he was ten years old, his family moved to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, where his father ran a small business repairing and refinishing furniture and buying and selling antiques. He earned a B.A. from the University of Toronto in 1960, and an M.A. from the University of Liverpool in 1962. He subsequently taught at Queen's University from 1962 to 1974. While he was at Queen's University, he also taught writing classes in Collins Bay Penitentiary, and co-wrote A Book about Billie with a former inmate. In 1971 he founded and was long-time editor of the Best Canadian Stories anthology series for Oberon Press. From 1974 to 1976, he was a literary manager for CBC Television's drama department, then returned to Queen's as a part-time instructor, while doing a great deal of freelance work. In 1980, he retired from teaching and became a full-time writer. He lived his later years on Prince Edward Island. On January 23, 2008, he was appointed Prince Edward Island's third Poet Laureate,[1] and on July 1, 2009, was named a Member of the Order of Canada.[2] His daughter, Maggie Helwig, is also a noted writer. Helwig died on October 16, 2018, at the age of 80 at a hospital in Montague, Prince Edward Island.[3] Works by David HelwigPoetry
