      Marshall McLuhan, 1911–1980.

       Judith Fitzgerald

      Award-winning poet, music critic, and literary journalist Judith Fitzgerald began her career in the early 1980s as an Entertainment writer with The Globe and Mail (where her work earned the Fiona Mee Literary Journalism Award). Her poetry, reviews, profiles, interviews, criticism, editorials, features, and columns have been published in numerous national and international anthologies, periodicals, journals, and newspapers.

      Fitzgerald has published sixteen books of poetry, including Victory, Rapturous Chronicles, River, and Twenty-Six Ways Out of This World. She has received a Writers’ Choice Award and has been shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award, the Pat Lowther Award, and the Trillium Award. Fitzgerald’s best-selling Building a Mystery: The Story of Sarah McLachlan and Lilith Fair (Quarry) was released in December 1997; its update, Sarah McLachlan: Building a Mystery (New Millennium Edition: Quarry/ Omnibus), was published in June 2000.

      In 1994, with the generous cooperation of the University of Windsor’s Assumption College and Department of Communications, Fitzgerald conceived and coordinated Makin’ McLuhan, a multimedia colloquium the CBC hailed as “an invigorating event which goes a long way towards reclaiming and reaffirming the reputation of one of Canada’s foremost thinkers.”
