Phyllis Webb
A Governor General's Award-winning poet and a member of the Order of Canada, Phyllis Webb was a major Canadian cultural figure from the 1950s through the 1980s, publishing ten celebrated collections of poetry and prose and co-founding the CBC Radio program Ideas (in 1965). When "words abandoned" her in the early 1990s and she was no longer able to write, she took up photography, photocollage, and eventually painting.
