A new interview, promoting the Vancouver International Poetry Festival, Susan is reading on April 19th.
One cannot easily pigeonhole Susan Musgrave. The Canadian poet is a fascinating contradiction of everything that came before, and doesn't fit easily into any convenient packaging. By turns cheerful and grim, funny and sombre, the 60-year-old writer has been publishing poetry since she was 19 (her first collection, Songs of the Sea-Witch was published in 1970).

Fresh Bread Ahead
27 January 2011 by Susan Musgrave
A sign on Tow Hill Road, about five kilometres after you leave the pavement, and well into Naikoon Provincial Park, says “Fresh Bread Ahead.” This is the only warning you’ll get that you are nearing Moon Over Naikoon, one of Haida Gwaii’s most beloved bakeries.

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 aharrowing 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.
