Munira Judith Avinger
Poet Munira Judith Avinger was born in the US and moved to the Eastern Townships of Quebec in 1992. She has made an in-depth study of several of the spiritual traditions of the world, which she has applied to her work as a leader of the Dances of Universal Peace. Munira's first book, The Empty Bowl / Le Bol Vide was published by Borealis Press in December, 2000. Her second book, Lifting The Veil / Soulever Le Voile, was released by Borealis Press in October of 2001. Munira decided to have her poems translated because as she says, "I love living in a bilingual environment and I wanted my poetry to be available in both official languages of Canada. I feel that the goal of Canada to create a multicultural country, with unity in
diversity, could be a model for all who strive for peace and harmony
throughout the world."
