Wilson Pugsley MacDonald (May 5, 1880 – April 8, 1967) was a popular Canadian poet who "was known mainly in his own time for his considerable platform abilities" as a reader of his poetry.
By reading fees, and by selling his books at readings, he was able to make a living from his poetry alone.
In the 1920s he was so popular "that his fame eclipsed that of Robert Service and Pauline Johnson".
