description: In this collection of poetry from the sixties, Marge Piercy writes "from the Movement, for the Movement." The civil rights, antiwar and women's movements reflected in these deeply personal poems filled with fire, anger and compassion which Piercy expresses so well. These poems are tough and tender, gritty with the urban landscape yet alive with reverence for the earth, enraged at the violence and injustices of man yet hopeful at the prospect of true community. Her second collection of poetry is about hard loving and hard living in a time of turmoil and optimism. Her poems are not feminine; they ARE powerfully female.
