When complete, "Always Now" will present all of the poems, up to 2002, that Margaret Avison wishes to preserve. "sunblue" and "No Time", the two books collected here, are growth rings; the poems are rings within rings of reflection on the creation and the Creator. In these poems, Margaret Avison's faith, now constant, is dynamic, challenging her as well as her reader (from the namby-pams / of the cloaking faith I wear / deliver me'). |
