Canadian Poet To Teach Course At University Eugene A Canadian poet and English professor will teach creative writing as a visiting professor in the Uni versity of Oregon's English; department during spring ! term. i He is A.JSarle Birncy, pro fessor of English in the Uni-! versity of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C.

In 1927-30 he was a teaching fellow at the i University of California and from 1930-32 and from 1933 34 he was an English instruc tor at the University of Utah. Between the two sessions he was at the University of Tor onto, where he returned in 1936. Birncy went to England; under a Royal Society of Ca nada Travelling Fellowship from 1934-36. Following this he took a position as assistant professor at Toronto. He went to the University of British Columbia in 1946. Since that time he has held two fellow ships which took him over seas. The first of these was in 1953 when he went to France under a Canadian Govern ment Overseas Fellowship. Again in 1958-59 he was in England under the Nuffield Foundation Fellowship. Giving special lectures, poetry readings and short courses in creative writing have also been a part of Bir ney's work. He is a writer of note with four books of poetry, two novels, and many articles published under his name. In 1952, Birncy received the Barestone Poetry Award. He won the Lome Pierce Medal for Literature in 1953. A graduate of the Univer sity of British Columbia, Bir ney received his masters and doctor of philosophy degrees from the University of I Toronto.
