In Memory of
 Elsie O'Day

Elsie O'Day submitted her poetry to us in February, 2007.
We enjoyed her humor and included her poem "What's In a Name?" on our website.

She was born in the United States and was a Maine native. She lived an hour’s drive from the Canadian border, in Cherryfield. Relatively new to writing, she was the author of poetry and short stories. Her poems, “Rainy Night Swim,” have appeared in the April edition of The Linnet’s Wings, two additional poems, “Winter Storm” and a Haiku: “Due North,” in the fall issue of Wolf Moon Journal. She favored disciplined poetry and wrote sonnets as well as Haiku and prose poetry. She had two novels in process.
 
We received news today that Elsie suffered a heart attack. Her funeral was June 22, 2009. We wish her family our sincere condolences.
