Biography Login to edit
was a Canadian poet. He had written in several other genres, including essays, short stories, and was the author of the novel Red Dog, Red Dog. Born in Nelson, British Columbia, he attended high school in Vernon and had no formal education. He first began writing poetry seriously in 1960. During his twenties, he held a series of difficult jobs in the logging industry in the northern part of the province—as a choker, truck driver, Industrial First Aid man, sawmill worker, salesman and so on. In 1965, he moved to Vancouver and began to connect with other poets of his generation.
Lane, Bill Bissett and Seymour Mayne founded the small-press publisher Very Stone House in 1966.
In 1968, Lane's first marriage ended and he moved to South America to dedicate himself completely to writing. When he returned, he remarried and established a home in the Okanagan Valley in 1972. In 1974 he and his wife moved to the Sunshine Coast.
After a second divorce in 1978, he became Writer-in-Residence at University of Manitoba, where he met fellow poet Lorna Crozier. Also in 1978, Lane won the Governor General's Award for his collection Poems, New and Selected.
Lane lived for many years with Crozier in Saanichton, British Columbia, where he tended a garden of 0.5 acres (0.20 ha) that has been featured on the television program Recreating Eden, and which he wrote about in the memoir There is a Season.
