From the back cover:
One of Canada’s most publicized, most popular literary figures, Susan Musgrave is the foremost poet of her generation. In A Man to Marry A Man to Bury she uses multiple voices and visions, bringing to each the emotional power for which her poetry is famous. Her subjects range from witchcraft, death, and the dark forces operating in sexual relationships, to friendship, humour, and the elements of human worth and dignity. Her writing is, as ever, startling, original, and utterly compelling.
