| Publisher Description: In "A Kind of Perseverance" Margaret Avison shares with readers two lectures she gave at the University of Waterloo in 1993 -- Misunderstanding is Damaging' and Understanding is Costly'. Thoughtfully and with precision she tells of her journey, often unfocussed, that led finally to the Christian conversion that is central to an understanding of her poetry. |
