Early Life and Introduction to Poetry Born in 1939 in Ottawa, Canada, Atwood developed a love for literature from an early age. She began writing poetry in high school and pursued English literature at the University of Toronto. Her early works, including Double Persephone (1961), set the stage for a poetic career that would span decades. Even as her prose works gained international acclaim, poetry remained a vital part of her artistic expression.
