History
Molly Beresford was a poet associated with the Song Fishermen, a literary society in Halifax in the early 1920s. Born in Scotland, she immigrated to Canada in 1923 and studied at Dalhousie (Class of 1926) and then at Columbia University. She taught school in Halifax until 1929 and then moved to Truro to become head of the English Department at the Provincial Normal College for Teachers. Her poems were published in The Dalhousie Review and The Song Fishermen's Song Sheets, although most of her work remained unpublished and is deposited in the Public Archives of Nova Scotia (MG 1, 125, 126-150, PANS).
