Marge Piercy is one of my favorite poets. She make no apologies for her past or opinions, and uses her poetry to share equally her disillusions with family members, her disgust with our society, and her deep love for her cats. If you have problems with strong women who say what they mean then don't bother reading this. You won't appreciate it, and you'll probably make up false reasons for hating it. She is a "real" person...I saw her at a reading and was struck by her voice and her modesty. (And her kindness considering I probably made a fool out of myself:) Marge Piercy's poetry and fiction are incredible. She is one of the greats.
