Hide Profile
Else Lübcke was born in Schivelbein, Pomerania, and moved to Berlin after the end of World War I. She began writing, becoming well-known in Berlin's literary circles. In 1927, she emigrated to Canada, where she met and married George Seel, a British Columbia trapper and prospector. They lived at Ootsa Lake, B.C., and had two children. Else kept a diary and wrote stories and poems about her experiences and the people she met at Ootsa Lake; her book "Canadian Diary" was published in Germany in 1964 and in translation in Canada in 1974. After her husband's death, Else Seel moved first to Victoria, later settling in Vancouver. In 1947, she began a correspondence with the American poet Ezra Pound, who was then in St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D.C. She died in Vancouver, B.C.
