Alice M. (Alice Maud) Winlow

Born in Ontario on September 18, 1879, Alice Maud Winlow later became closely connected with British Columbia’s literary community. Sources describe her as active in Vancouver and involved with the Vancouver Poetry Society and the Canadian Authors' Association, where she served as an honorary secretary.

Her published work ranged across genres. In addition to poems that appeared in periodicals, she wrote books including The Miracle of Roses and Poems, The Broken Flower, and, with Kathryn Pocklington, The Mornin'-Glory Girl. She also contributed writing on local arts and culture, including pieces connected with British Columbia Monthly.

Winlow died on February 19, 1946. Although she is not widely known today, her writing offers a glimpse of western Canadian literary life in the decades when regional magazines, poetry clubs, and small publishers helped shape a distinct cultural voice.
