History
The Canadian poet Dorothy Rath was born in Barrie, Ontario, in 1922, where she lived until her death on May 12, 2011. She was married to John Rath. She was a devoted admirer of the Canadian poet Irving Layton. In 1963, Rath wrote a letter to Layton to which Layton sent a reply, marking the beginning of a thirty year friendship. The Layton-Rath correspondence was published in An Unlikely Affair in 1980 by Mosaic Press.
Rath published two works of poetry: All My World Away: Poems, published in 1997, and The Slender Thread, published in 1973.
