Hunger Moon: New and Selected Poems, 1980-2010
Hunger Moon: New and Selected Poems, 1980-2010 | Marge Piercy
2 posts
Now in paperback: the superb selection from Marge Piercy's nine most recent books, the heart of her mature poems. This gathering of Piercy's poems is the first selected since Circles on the Water in 1982. These poems chart the milestone events and fierce passions of the poet's middle years: her Judaism, her deep connection with nature, her marriage, her cats, her politics, and in the face of the loss of time and people, her own legacy.

Where do dreams come from? Do they sneak in through torn screens at night to light on the arm like mosquitos? Are they passed from mouth to ear like gossip or dirty jokes? Do they sprout from underground on damp mornings like toadstools that form fairy rings on dewtipped grasses? No, they slink out of books, they lurk in the stacks of libraries. Out of pages turned they rise like the scent of peonies and infect the brain with their promise.
