Rating: - Rich and Captivating
I had never read Marge Piercy until I found a poem of hers in an anthology and then rushed out to find whatever I could find written by her. That is substantial. I love this book. It contains a wide range of emotions and subjects, all written in a style that makes the poem easy to identify with, while containing multiple layers that make it new every time you read it. Highly recommended.
Rating: - What a wonderful book!!
I truly love this book. It includes a fine sampling of Ms. Piercy's work. There are love poems, feminist poems, poems about animals and vegetables and living at the Cape. I bought the book about 15 years ago and I continue to read these poems. Each time I do I get something new. A must-have for anyone who loves poetry!

I love Marge Piercy's poems and this book is the best collection I know. Her clear thinking, uncompromising feminism, her brassy humor, and her hopeful insight have been a delight that I return to again and again
