He studied at the University of British Columbia (B.A., 1948) where he participated in Earle Birney's creative-writing workshops, and his M.F.A. in creative writing from the University of Iowa (1950) - the first Canadian to attend Paul Engle's writers' workshop. On his return to Canada, Harlow joined the CBC as a public-affairs producer, and with Robert Weaver, was instrumental in launching the popular literary program "Anthology" (1953). He was appointed CBC's director of radio for the British Columbia (B.C.) region in 1955. Among his contributions to the literary community in B.C., Harlow founded the literary magazine, "Prism International" (1959), with Birney and others. In 1965, he was appointed founding head of the Department of Creative Writing at UBC, Canada's first department of creative writing, with which he was affiliated for 24 years (as head from 1965-77 and as professor from 1977-88 and where he is currently professor emeritus). He has published numerous novels, including "Royal Murdoch" (1962), "Scann", (1972), "Making Arrangements", (1978), "Paul Nolan" (1983), "Felice: A Travelogue" (1985), and "The Saxophone Winter" (1988), as well as contributions to anthologies and literary reviews.Additional information:Physical description note:Includes: Photographs, 12 pens, wings and officer's bars, and a graduation hood.Container note(s):1 : 1984-10
