This seven-title canon reissues Musgrave's early must-have literary opus and includes: \u003ci\u003eSongs of the Sea-Witch\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEntrance of the Celebrant\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGrave-Dirt and Selected Strawberries\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Impstone\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBecky Swan's Book\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Man to Marry\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ea Man to Bury\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCocktails at the Mausoleum\u003c\/i\u003e. Originally published by Sono Nis, Macmillan, McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart and Porcupine's Quill, the poems in \u003ci\u003eWhat the Small Day Cannot Hold\u003c\/i\u003e reconstitute the lost canon of one of the country's most vibrant and orgiinal national voices. Called the \"foremost poet of her generation\", Musgrave epitomizes the people's poet, bringing to audiences starved for a new language of wide breadth of material startling in its intensity and originality, legendary in its myth-making and monumental in its primal power. From witchcraft to wilderness, from First Nations to the urban nation, from the erotic to the exotic, these poems explode typical expectations and haunt the reader with unprecedented dramatic appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Musgrave has won awards for writing in four different categories: poetry, fiction, nonfiction and children's books.
