Origami Dove $18.07 The first collection of new poems in more than a decade from one of Canada’s most vibrant and original writers. Origami Dove is award-winning poet Susan Musgrave’s first collection of new poems since Things That Keep and Do Not Change (1999). In it, Musgrave offers brilliantly crafted poetry that moves effortlessly between violence and beauty, rage and sanity, the humorous and the erotic. By turns dark, playful, and edgy, these poems are informed by a mature intelligence. The collection includes a harrowing urban sequence inspired by the true stories of six prostitutes from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, as well as a moving elegiac series that unfolds against the changing seasons and draws on the richness of the natural world around her home on the Sangan River, on the Queen Charlotte Islands, during the year a close friend died of lung cancer. This is Susan Musgrave in full control of her powers, writing poetry that cuts right to the bone. |

Origami Dove by Musgrave, Susan Edition , 0 $20.99 The first collection of new poems in more than a decade from one of Canada’s most vibrant and original writers.With her first major collection in ten years, Susan Musgrave displays a range of form and expression that may surprise even her most faithful readers. The quiet, lapidary elegies of “Obituary of Light” are set against the furious mischief of “Random Acts of Poetry,” where the lines move with the inventive energy of a natural storyteller, while “Heroines” wrests a harsh and haunting poetry from the language of the street.  Her alertness to the absurdity in even the most heartbreaking personal crises leavens the sorrow that speaks through so many of the poems. Sadness and levity interweave. The wilderness and the penitentiary reflect one another. There’s an underlying tenderness, though, whether she is writing about family, the dispossessed, her life on Haida Gwaii, or the vagaries of love. This is Susan Musgrave in full control of her powers, writing poetry that cuts right to the bone. |
