A Kind of Perseverance: The Pascal Lectures on Christianity and the University

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.
