Robin Mathews
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robin Mathews (born 1931, Smithers, British Columbia) is a Canadian poet, activist and professor.
Mathews self-published his first collection of poems in 1961. In the same decade he shot to national fame by taking an uncomprising position against American imperialism and the complementary colonial attitude of Canadian elites. He also spearheaded the movement to have Canadian literature taught in schools, something that was not universally accepted at that time.
Mathews currently writes a regular column for the Canadian nationalist organization Vive le Canada.
