Concrete and Wild Carrot
Margaret Avison
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 unthinkable" beyond.
Subjects: Poetry
AWARDS FOR Concrete and Wild Carrot:
Griffin Poetry Prize 2003, CAA 2003
Course Adoptions:
U of A, Regina
Winner of 2003 Griffin Poetry Prize - the judges said "Margaret Avison is a national treasure. For many decades she has forged a way to write, against the grain, some of the most humane, sweet and profound poetry of our time."
