About The Author

Marge Piercy is the author of seventeen novels and seventeen volumes of poetry, most recently Colors Passing Through Us and The Art of Blessing the Day. She lives on Cape Cod with her husband, novelist Ira Wood.

“Piercy’s honesty is always welcome.” —Publishers Weekly“There is always some secret gem hidden inside these poems . . . Piercy is not shy about using stark language, and her tone is unusual and refreshing. Rather than sounding preachy, her use of repetition adds to the sense of rhythm and makes her writing sing even as it informs.” —Lilith
