Description

Insightful and compelling, this collection of appreciations and reminiscences by both Canadian and American poets addresses Margaret Avison as both a Christian poet and as an individual who has influenced her contemporaries. Hoping to throw some light on the mystery of Margaret Avison and especially her achievement as a Christian writer, this book celebrates Avison as both a person and a poet.
