Customer Reviews

Speaking her mind

I was fortunate to hear Marge Piercy read her poetry at The Wisconsin Book Festival and I was blown away. What a joy to discover a new author to read and recommend. In "Tracks", Piercy portrays the multitude of roles we fill, not only with our relatives and friends, but also to the animals we interact with in our life journey. In "Hollywood Haircut" she wonders if a $400 haircut would change her life for the better but decides "No,I thought so. I'll stick to Sarah and my $35 trim." In "Mighty Big" Piercy considers the ramifications of our arrogant foreign policy. I am going to quote from "Swear It" regarding those who seem to be holier than thou. "It has always amazed me there are words too potent to say to those whose ears are tender as baby lettaces-often those who label us into narrow jars with salt and vinegar,saying, People like THEM, meaning me and mine. Never say the K or N word, just quietly shut and bolt the door. Just politely insert their foot in the Other's face."
