The Embalmer’s Art
$32.95
The first comprehensive selection (1970-1985) from Canada’s most controversial and versatile poet. The poems of crisis and elemental enchantment which made the young Susan Musgrave’s reputation with her first books, Songs of the Sea Witch and Entrance of the Celebrant, were followed by increasingly sophisticated publications, such as the scabrous and cosmopolitan irony of Cocktails at the Mausoleum.
Poetry 1991 • 6 x 9 inches • PB 183 pages • 9781550960112
Rare – less than 20 copies
Susan Musgrave, in her novels and journalism as well as her poems, has often seemed to offer a teasing commentary upon her sometimes outrageous private life, but The Embalmer’s Art reveals that she has written, and continues to write, some of the most haunting and transformational love poems of our time.
