Pratt, E J

    0.03 sec.

Pratt, E(dwin) J(ohn)

(born Feb. 4, 1883, Western Bay, Nfd., Can.—died April 26, 1964, Toronto, Ont.) Canadian poet. He trained for the ministry and later taught for many years at the University of Toronto. The early collection The Titans (1926) contains his widely read “The Cachalot,” an account of a whale hunt. Brébeuf and His Brethren (1940), perhaps his best work, chronicles the martyrdom of Jesuit missionaries. Later collections include Dunkirk (1941), They Are Returning (1945), Behind the Log (1947), and Towards the Last Spike (1952).
