My Life, My Body
Marge Piercy
ISBN: 978-1-62963-105-9
128 pages
In a candid and intimate new collection of essays, poems, memoirs, reviews, rants, and railleries, Piercy discusses her own development as a working-class feminist, the highs and lows of TV culture, the ego-dances of a writerâs life, the homeless and the housewife, Allen Ginsberg and Marilyn Monroe, feminist utopias (and why she doesnât live in one), why fiction isnât physics; and of course, fame, sex, and money, not necessarily in that order. The short essays, poems, and personal memoirs intermingle like shards of glass that shine, reflectâand cut. Always personal yet always political, Piercyâs work is drawn from a deep well of feminist and political activism.
Also featured is our Outspoken Interview, in which the author lays out her personal rules for living on Cape Cod, finding your poetic voice, and making friends in Cuba.
âMarge Piercy is not just an author, sheâs a cultural touchstone. Few writers in modern memory have sustained her passion, and skill, for creating stories of consequence.â

Boston Globe

Brown Girl in the Ring
, won a Locus Award for SF and Fantasy in 1999. Since then she has acquired a prestigious World Fantasy Award, a legion of adventurous and aware fans, a reputation for intellect seasoned with humor, and a place of honor in the short list of SF writers who are tearing down the walls of category and transporting readers to previously unimagined planets and realms.
Never one to hold her tongue, Hopkinson takes on sexism and racism in publishing in âReport from Planet Midnight,â a historic and controversial presentation to her colleagues and fans.
