AUTHOR

Margaret Avison

SUMMARY

In Margaret Avison,s new poems, little pleasures are bound up with larger ones. Her slightest subjects ^ beloved Toronto parks with their population of oaks, firs, squirrels, dogs, kids, even ants, and the minutest sighs of her contemporary urban soundscape ^ all have their being within an immense composition that calls and hauls us to a largeness, a category-breaking always unthinkable0 beyond. Words have their life too, won,t/ compact into a theorem,0 Avison says, and this is certainly true of hers.To myself everywhere:Cry out, Break!0 Breakall our securities, and break out!Explore only the rangesbeyond our mastering. Take onthe inexorable demands made bya norm of unpremeditated excellence!from Alternatives to Riots but all Citizens Must Play0Concrete and Wild Carrot is Margaret Avison,s sixth book of poems, her first with Brick Books ^ though we now distribute her Lancelot Press books. She is one of Canada,s most respected writers, still at the top of her form in a career that stretches back to the 1940s, and during which she has gained three honorary degrees and two Governor General,s Awards for Poetry (for Winter Sun and No Time).Margaret Avison is the author of 'Concrete and Wild Carrot', published 2003 under ISBN 9781894078245 and ISBN 1894078241.
