Margaret Avison was a highly regarded Canadian poet who saw poetry as her life's vocation but shied away from being publicly labelled a poet. She has been called reclusive, introspective; her poetry difficult and demanding. And yet, as shown by her enigmatically titled autobiography, "I am Here and Not Not-There," she was also a woman with a lively curiosity and a real love for the world.'

Recenzii

This week I received a large package in the mail. I opened it to find the 352-page volume "I Am Here And Not Not-There: An Autobiography". It is the autobiography of Margaret Avison a the exceptional Canadian poet who passed away on July 31, 2007. Not only is Margaret Avison one of the most celebrated poets Canada has ever had a having won the Governor General's Award for poetry in 1960 and 1990, and the Griffin Poetry Prize in 2003 a but she participated with The Word Guild by twice contributing to the Write! Toronto conference, and by being the winner of the Leslie K. Tarr Career Achievement Award in 2005. I am not writing of this book, so much, to encourage you to buy it a unless you are a long-time fan of Avison a but primarily to point out the weight of her contribution. Sarah Klassen once wrote in "Prairie Fire", It is Avison's unique accomplishment to write, in and for a secular world, about faith and God, with intelligence and without becoming either sentimental or preachy.' Surprisingly, it is the secular literary community a not the church a that has most valued Avison's legacy. I think it's high time that we begin to celebrate Margaret Avison! -- D. S.
