Fires of Driftwood

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

This is a collection of poetry by Canadian poet and playwright Isabel Ecclestone Mackay. Though Ms. Mackay's poetry was popular and widely published during her lifetime, her poetry is today not very well-known. Her poetry is, however, of an enduring charm and beauty, which should not fail to interest modern readers. - Summary by Carolin (2 hr 12 min)
