Old Spookses’ Pass, Malcolm’s Katie, and Other Poems
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textIsabella Valancy Crawford was born in Dublin in 1850 and came to Canada as a child with her family, which was poor; she kept her widowed mother by writing for the Toronto papers. This book of 1884, the only one she published, was printed at her own expense and sold very few copies. Malcolm’s Katie, its long poem of love and the clearing of the forest, is now counted among the best Canadian poems of its century.
