David Donnell (born 13 October 1939, died 2020) was a Canadian poet and writer. Born in
Governor General's Award for English language poetry for his collection Settlements. Donnell continued publishing with Water Street days (1989) where he examines his past and his childhood; the poems are narrative confessions; and China blues (1992).[2]
Donnell's poetry offers perspectives about city life and the stresses and ironic staples of urban life. Donnell's poetry is known for its escalating fascination with prose fiction that becomes more dominant in the final sections of China Blues and Water Street Days, and becoming an important feature in his publishing of Dancing In The Dark (1996).
David Donnell also received the Therafields Chapbook Award in 1986 and the
City of Toronto Book Award in 1993.[3]
