Synopsis
A selection of poems from four of Marge Piercy's early volumes, together with uncollected poems from a poet who Erica Jong described as 'one of the most important writers of our time' whose poems have 'authority, power and verbal brilliance.' January Thaw Six days narrow as razors yet wide enough as that single bed we slept on, tangled. Deep enough to free fall twined, dancing through that huge temporary space, wind whistling the land turning like the hands of a clock the sun far below us. Through dead winter the chickadees are calling as they do in spring fe-ver, fe-ver rising, descending sweetly. A January thaw, country roads turned chocolate pudding our boots with sucking sounds clambering over the still- intact oak leaves pages of an old diary an old year thrown off.
