Born in Charlottetown, PEI and educated at St. Dustan's University, J. Hugh MacDonald is the author of one picture book and several books of poetry. His poetry, which has also been published in many anthologies, deals with the wonders of growing up. He is now retired after thirty-one years teaching, ending his career teaching English and writing in Souris, P.E.I. A former actor and director, he has also taught theatre. Hugh lives in Brudenell with his wife, Sandra, and their six children who have taught him how to laugh and see the joy in simple things.
