Mark Strand (1934-2014) was a Canadian poet, writer of short fiction, and translator whose poetry, noted for its surreal quality, explores the boundaries of the self and the external world. Strand was influenced stylistically by Latin American surrealism and such European writers as Franz Kafka, and his poetry, especially his earliest works, is replete with symbolic imagery and minimalist sensibility. Volumes of Strand's poetry include Sleeping with One Eye Open (1964), Reasons for Moving (1968), Darker (1970), The Story of Our Lives (1973), The Late Hour (1978), Selected Poems (1980), The Continuous Life (1990), Dark Harbor (1993), and Man and Camel (2006). A collection of prose pieces, Mr. and Mrs. Baby and Other Stories, was published in 1985.
