Poet, Mary Ellen Nielsen (nee Varley) was born October 21, 1918, in Oakville, Ontario. She died October 25, 2014, in Oakville, Ontario, and is buried in St. Jude's Cemetery in Oakville, Ontario. Mary Ellen was a regular visitor to The Poet's Pulpit's Brick & Mortar location from 2006 until we closed in 2010. Her poetry appeared in Toronto newspapers before she was a teenager and she continued to write well into her nineties, despite her failing eyesight. She published numerous chapbooks during her lifetime, but her one wish, which was to have a hardcover book of her poems published, went unfulfilled. She will be missed.
