Hunger - Book of Selected Poetry by Susan Musgrave

Hunger (Released, 2025)

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 memoirist 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.

“Here in this book, along with Micheline Maylor’s insights, is Susan Musgrave amidst her ‘inherited’ turmoil and aloneness, drawing us in and sharing her remarkable life and potent poetry.”

– Steven Ross Smith, The British Columbia Review
