Amy Parkinson (original) (raw)

Amy Parkinson (27 December 1855 – 13 February 1938) was a British-born Canadian poet, her work being chiefly devotional.Parkinson's poems were distributed in leaflet form by her friends among the sick and the "shut-ins", having a wide ministry of comfort; it is this characteristic of her work that led to her being widely called "the Canadian Havergal". Several poetry collections were published including, Love Through All (1893), and In His Keeping.Confined to her bed for more than 60 years, Parkinson died in 1938.
