Amy Parkinson (27 December 1855 – 13 February 1938) was a British-born Canadian poet, her work being chiefly devotional.[1] 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".[2][3] Several poetry collections were published including, Love Through All (1893),[4] and In His Keeping.[5] Confined to her bed for more than 60 years, Parkinson died in 1938.[6]
