This is the sixth volume in The Porcupines Quill's Essential Poets series. The Essential Margaret Avison provides an excellent introduction to this distinguished Canadian poet and the evolution of her work, tracing her movement from skeptical intellectual to committed Christian. Robyn Sarah's selections illustrate Avison's diverse styles and forms, her striking diction, metaphoric and tonal complexities, and unique perspective. Sarah describes how Avison's work became more and more a poetry of inquiry, an inner pondering of her daily givens', in which the poet's experience of the worldly and the transcendent are inextricably tied.
