"Always Now, Collected Poems of Margaret Avison," encompasses in three volumes all of the published books, from "Winter Sun" (1960) to "Concrete and Wild Carrot" (2002), and is framed by a gathering of uncollected and new poems respectively.

"Volume One" extends from the uncollected poems to Avison's translations of Hungarian poems, and includes "Winter Sun" and "The Dumbfounding."

Margaret Avison's poems have warmed the hearts and enlarged the thinking of two generations of Canadian readers.
