Éva Senécal was born Marie-Eva Senecal, on April 20, 1905, in La Patrie, Quebec, Canada. She was a daughter of Adelard Senecal, a farmer, and Octavie (Beaudry) Senecal.
Éva Senécal attended the Ecole Normale of Saint-Hyacinthe.
While unwillingly a resident in a sanitarium for several months in 1923, Senecal set down her first poems on paper. By 1927 her first volume of verse, titled Un Peu d'angoisse... un peu de fievre, was published; it would be followed two years later by La Course dans Vaurore.
She worked for La Tribune's Sherbrooke newspaper from 1930 to 1936 and worked there again in the mid-1960s.
Writing both poetry and fiction during the 1920s and 1930s, Canadian writer Eva Senecal would live to see her works classified by literary historians as part of the “feminine school” of the early decades of the twentieth century.
The four volumes of Senecal’s published work are dominated by the portrayal of an ephemeral and often tragic romantic passion, a theme that found few echoes in the literature of the time. She is now appreciated for her attempt, albeit short-lived, to bring about changes in the form and content of Quebec literature.
The Municipal Library of Sherbrooke has been named since its opening in December 1990. This tribute was awarded by the Sherbrooke Historical Society to emphasize his career as a writer.
In 1940, Éva Senécal married Clifford Cole.
