[4] He has later received a MA in creative writing/English from Concordia University in 1988, a MA in education from Université de Sherbrooke in 1996, and a Ph.D summa cum laude from Lajos Kossuth University in 1998. [5] He was formerly a teacher at Dawson College and John Abbott College in Montreal, and at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, [4] and has been a guest lecturer at several international universities.

Solway is known for his work both as a poet, essayist and as a teacher, as well as for his polemical outspokenness, especially in opposition to Islam and in defense of Zionism. [6] He has contributed political commentary to the conservative websites WorldNetDaily and PJ Media, and has been described as a part of the counter-jihad movement. [7]
For inspiration, he invented a Greek poet named Andreas Karavis as a heteronym, whose work he published in apparent translation. [5]
