Hunger: The Poetry of Susan Musgrave

By Susan Musgrave

A collection of poems on love, grief, and aging, from one of Canada's great 21st-century poets

From Griffin Poetry Prize finalist Susan Musgrave, author of more than thirty-five books, comes Hunger, works selected from Musgrave's last four books with an introduction by Micheline Maylor (The Bad Wife, Little Wildheart) and a humorous and thoughtful after-essay by Musgrave herself about the breadth of her literary career. This volume features poems written since the death of Musgrave's husband, the award-winning memorist Stephen Reid, and showcases Musgrave's signature blend of ribaldry, wit, and the big questions about life, love, rebellion, and aging. A visceral and hearty collection of poems, and an examination of the feminine principle in the first two decades of the 21st century, this selected volume is a tribute to Musgrave's long career and literary wisdom.
