Isabel Ecclestone Mackay A Celebration of Women Writers Isabel Ecclestone Mackay (18751928) byJohn Garvin, (1872-1934) Garvin, John William, ed. Canadian Poets . http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/garvin/poets/mackay.html
Extractions: Garvin, John William, ed. Canadian Poets [Page 237] Isabel Ecclestone Mackay Mrs. Isabel Ecclestone Mackay is one of the cleverest writers we have. She is a Vancouver lady, one whose work both in prose and verse is finding a high place in the United States and in England. In prose she displays a keen, analytical mind, a genius for new ideas, and a style that is easy and convincing. In poetry she has a philosophic turn, an artful and subtle conception of a circumstance. On the other hand, as a writer in a beautiful lyrical style, she has few superiors in these days. It is perhaps not too much to say that no other Canadian writer is producing work equal in strength, beauty and balance, to that of Mrs. Mackay. Mrs. Mackay has a sensitive ear for the music of words and an instinctive feeling for rhythm. She has both imagination and humour and a keen appreciation of the wonderful and the beautiful. [Page 238] her love of children . 'There is nothing so sweet as a baby,' she will tell you, and indeed the Madonna passion has inspired and coloured much of her prose, and not a little of her verse.
