The first collection of new poems in more than a decade from one of Canada's most vibrant and original writers.<br><br><b>Origami Dove</b> is award-winning poet Susan Musgrave's first collection of new poems since <b>Things That Keep</b> <b>and</b> <b>Do Not Change</b> (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.
