Biographical history
Katherine Eastman was born in Ontario. In 1907 she became an elementary school teacher. After an interlude of managing the poet Bliss Carman, whose 1923- 1924 transcontinental tour she directed, she returned to teaching, settling in Vancouver. Through Carmen, Eastman met Ernest Fewster, founder of the Vancouver Poetry Society and became an active member of the society.
