Description

Walter Bauer, a socially committed writer and humanist, emigrated from Germany to Canada in 1952 after becoming disillusioned with social and intellectual developments in Germany. During his progression from dishwasher to university professor, Canada's multicultural outlook allowed him to remain true to himself and loyal to his intellectual heritage, but he died without seeing his humanistic goals fulfilled. While living in Canada he continued to write poetry for a German audience, but this audience ignored him. At the same time he remained unknown to most Canadians, whom he might have reached had he decided at an earlier stage to write in English. His dilemma, typical of that faced by many immigrant writers, is effectively documented in his writings.
