Carolyn Marie Souaid (born 1 August 1959) is a Canadian poet, educator, publisher and editor.

Souaid's work focuses on pivotal moments in Québécois history[2] and on the difficult bridging of worlds (English/French; native/non-native).

[11] Souaid has lived most of her life in Montreal, except for three years spent teaching in Inuit villages along Quebec's Hudson-Ungava coast in the early 1980s.

[12] Carolyn Marie Souaid's fourth collection of poetry, Satie's Sad Piano… is a fine achievement in attempting to explain the importance of Pierre Elliott Trudeau - and his passing, five years ago - for the national imagination.

… This long poem is perhaps the first serious effort to encompass the nation since Dennie Lee's problematically Ontario centric/Torontonian Civil Elegies appeared in 1868 and 1972[13]
