Kenneth Leslie

Kenneth Leslie (October 31, 1892 – October 6, 1974) was a Canadian poet and songwriter, and an influential political activist in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. He was the founder and editor of ''The Protestant Digest'' (later ''The Protestant''), which had a peak circulation of over 50,000 subscribers.〔 A Christian socialist, he was given the nickname, "God's Red Poet."〔
==Life==
Leslie was born in Pictou, Nova Scotia, on Hallowe'en, 1892. His father, Robert Jamieson Leslie, was a shipping magnate and in 1905 became a member of the Quebec legislature, but drowned that year when one of his ships, ''The Lunenberg,'' sank in a storm off the Magdalen Islands (which were part of his Quebec constituency).〔"(The Essential Kenneth Leslie )," MightyApe.co.nz, Web, Apr. 15, 2011.〕
Kenneth Leslie was raised by his mother, Bertha Starratt Leslie. As a boy he learned to play the violin and piano, and loved to sing; he also wrote poetry.〔Burris Devanney,"(Kenneth Leslie: A Biographical Introduction )," ''Canadian Poetry: Studies / Documents / Reviews'' No.05 (Fall/Winter 1979), UWO, Web, Apr. 15, 2011〕 He "was a child prodigy, attending Dalhousie University in Halifax at age 14."〔"(VisionTV documentary tells the story of unsung Canadian hero Kenneth Leslie, poet and political activist )," VisionTV (press release), June 11, 2008. Web, Apr. 15, 2011.〕 Later he was educated at Colgate Theological Seminary for a year; the University of Nebraska, where he received his M.A. in 1914; and Harvard, where he studied "under the brilliant idealist Josiah Royce" but did not receive a Ph.D.〔
