Born as Daphne Buckle, Daphne Marlatt spent six years in Malaysiaafter World War II before she immigrated to North Vancouver in 1951.Much of her postmodernist writing would be attuned to the adjustments,struggles and accomplishments of immigrants.

While Marlatt attended UBC (1960-1964), her literary associations with theloosely-affiliated TISH group encouraged her non-conformist approach tolanguage and etymological explorations. She was the founding editor of twoliterary magazines: periodics and Tessera. She co-edited West Coast Review,Island, The Capilano Review, and TISH.

In 2004 she was appointed as the first writer-in-residence at Simon FraserUniversity in three decades. She currently co-directs the annual Banff WritingStudio.

In 2006, Daphne Marlatt was appointed to the Order of Canada.She now lives with her partner, Bridget MacKenzie, in Vancouver.Collaboration has been a significant element

of her career, beginning with her 1970s oral historyresearch in the Japanese-Canadian communityof Steveston and then in the multi-ethnicneighbourhood of Strathcona. Opening Doorsin Vancouver’s East End: Strathcona was thefirst book to be republished under Vancouver’s125 Legacy Books Collection program in 2011.
