Beatrice Redpath (née Peterson; June 19, 1886 – February 11, 1937) was a Canadian poet and short story writer.
As with Victoria Grace Blackburn, Louise Morey Bowman, and Wilson MacDonald, Redpath was considered a poet of Canada's "Restoration Period".
Her father was Peter Alexander Peterson, Chief Engineer of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Her poems include, "Earth Love", "To One Lying Dead", "Rebellion", "The Daughter of Jairus", and "My Thoughts".
[3] For many years, she contributed her stories to periodicals in Canada, England,[2] and the U.S.[5] Earlier in her life, Redpath resided at St. Hilaire and at Toronto.
Beatrice Red path in 'Drawn Shutters' can be commonplace in the noble contemplation of essential life: a virtue in poetry.
There is evidence in the volume of life lived at first hand, of the discipline of actuality that forces people either to a calm, strong normality, or to hectic agony, and disquietness of spirit.
