The short essays, poems, and personal memoirs intermingle like shards of glass that shine, reflect--and cut. Always personal yet always political, Piercy's work is drawn from a deep well of feminist and political activism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlso 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarge Piercy\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of 17 novels, including the national bestsellers \u003ci\u003eBraided Lives\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGone to Soldiers\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWoman on the Edge of Time\u003c\/i\u003e; 17 volumes of poetry; and a critically acclaimed memoir, \u003ci\u003eSleeping with Cats\u003c\/i\u003e.
