Who is David Solway?

David Solway is a Canadian poet, educational theorist, travel writer and literary critic of Jewish descent.

He is a member of the Jubilate Circle and formerly a teacher of English Literature at John Abbott College. He has spent most of his life in the Montreal area and now lives in Hudson, Quebec.

Solway is known for his work both as a poet, essayist and as a teacher, as well as for his polemical outspokenness, especially in defence of Zionism, George W. Bush and the war on terror. For inspiration, he invented a Greek poet named Andreas Karavis as a heteronym, whose work he published in apparent translation.
