Dance on the Earth: A Memoir
In a writing career spanning nearly three decades, Margaret Laurence became one of the most celebrated and widely read authors in the world.
In this, her final work, Margaret Laurence reveals the story of her fascinating life, the process of her writing, and the people and emotional journeys which accompanied it. She relates her experiences living in different cultures; the issues and causes she so passionately upheld; her personal battle against censorship. She also pays tribute to the three women from whom she drew important spiritual strength.
Including a selection of her articles, speeches, and letters – many never before published – and photographs selected by Margaret Laurence from her personal family albums, Dance on the Earth is a book of celebration and exploration in which Margaret Laurence speaks openly about her place in the world as a woman, a writer, and a concerned human being.

Intimate Strangers: The Letters of Margaret Laurence And Gabrielle Roy
by Margaret Laurence
from University of Manitoba Press
By the 1970s, Margaret Laurence and Gabrielle Roy had become two of the literary icons of Canada. Although both were natives of Manitoba, they never had met. In 1976 Laurence and Roy began this seven-year correspondence in English, when both were at the height of their powers as writers.
In these lovely and intimate letters, two great Canadian writers discuss everything from their common prairie backgrounds to current politics and censorship.
