Where Are They Now? #9 ~ Daniel Coleman

Daniel Coleman

Next up in my, "Where Are They Now" series I am featuring, writer, professor, former classmate and PHS alum, Daniel Coleman.

Daniel Coleman was born and raised the child of Canadian missionary parents in Ethiopia, an experience he has written about in The Scent of Eucalyptus: A Missionary Childhood in Ethiopia, perhaps his most well known book. "Engaging and thought-provoking." says the Globe and Mail. Another reviewer notes: "Daniel Coleman's vivid memoir of Ethiopia has relevance for today's NGOs ... Fascinating ... Coleman vividly relives emotions as well as sensations and reveals his own spiritual struggles." ― FFWD

Daniel moved to the Canadian prairies in the 1980s and completed his PhD in Canadian Literature at the University of Alberta in 1995. He went on to publish scholarly books on Canadian immigrant writing. Since 1997, he has lived in Hamilton, Ontario, where he teaches Canadian Literature at McMaster University.
