Edna Jaques

Edna Parliament Jaques, poet, author, lecturer, stenographer (born 17 January 1891 in Collingwood, ON; died 13 September 1978 in Toronto, ON). By the 1950s, Edna Jaques was arguably Canada’s best-known and best-selling poet. She was named one of Canada’s most popular women in 1952 and Ontario’s “Woman of the Year” in 1976. A self-taught writer, Jaques is estimated to have written about 3,000 poems during her lifetime. Her best-known poem is “In Flanders Now,” a patriotic response to John McCrea’s famous “In Flanders Fields.” Jaques’ poetry was not universally accepted by literary critics, but it was very popular with the public. Jaques described her poetic style as “clad in homespun and the rough weave of common folks.”
