Brian Brett

Brian Brett (born 28 April 1950) is a Canadian poet and novelist.

Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, he attended Simon Fraser University. He lives on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.

In his 2004 memoir "Uproar's Your Only Music", Brett wrote about growing up with a rare endocrine disorder known as Kallmann syndrome, meaning that his body does not naturally produce sex hormones. By the age of 20, he had still not entered puberty, and was believed by his parents and doctors to be intersex until his Kallmann diagnosis. He began taking testosterone in adulthood.
