Mark Blagrave
Mark Blagrave (born 1956, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario) is a Canadian writer, especially of plays and short stories, and Professor of English and Dean, Faculty of Arts and Social Science at Huron University College.[1]
Blagrave was raised in Southern Ontario and lived in Sackville, New Brunswick, his "true"[2] home. His paternal grandfather Robert Blagrave was born in Rawdon Quebec, where members of the Blagrave family still reside. His plays are performed both professionally and in university theatres, and his short stories published regularly in Canadian periodicals like The New Quarterly and The Fiddlehead. Silver Salts, his first novel, was published in 2008. His current obsession is indeed salt, which he intends to render as a motif in a forthcoming short-story collection. After almost 40 years at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, in 2009, he returned to southern Ontario as Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Science at Huron University College.[3]
