Always Now The Collected Poems

'Collected Poems sounds like a ''closing of the books,'' of my books, after a lifetime of writing, although nobody holds me to that. The process has been good: odds and ends tided up and the lot put in order. Re-reading has helped put all these years' output into perspective for me. If any reader wonders about certain trees or their place in this forest, my survey may serve him as well.' -- from Margaret Avison's 'Foreword'Avison, Margaret is the author of 'Always Now The Collected Poems', published 2003 under ISBN 9780889842625 and ISBN 0889842620.
