Extractions: Marge Piercy was born March 31, 1936 in Detroit into a family that had been, like many others, affected by the Depression. Her mother, Bert Bernice Bunnin, born in Philadelphia, had lived also in Pittsburgh and Cleveland; her father Robert Douglas Piercy grew up in a small town in the soft coal mining region of Pennsylvania. They had not been living in Detroit long. Her father, out of work for some time, got a job installing and repairing heavy machinery at Westinghouse. When Piercy was little, they moved into a small house in a working-class neighborhood in Detroit which was black and white by blocks. Piercy had one brother, fourteen years older, her mother's son by a previous marriage. Piercy's maternal grandfather Morris was a union organizer murdered while organizing bakery workers. Her maternal grandmother, Hannah, of whom Piercy was particularly fond, was born in Lithuania, the daughter of a rabbi. "Grandmother Hannah was a great storyteller. She and my mother told many of the same stories, but always the stories came out differently." It was her maternal grandmother who gave Piercy her Hebrew name, Marah.

In 1957, she graduated from the University of Michigan (where she won prizes for poetry and fiction) and earned an M.A. from Northwestern University (1958). She was active in social and political causes and fought for equal treatment of women and minorities while opposing the Vietnam War.

She is an extraordinarily prolific writer. Among her more than a dozen novels are

http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/ae/books/ch1/1217647

Extractions: Do I have faith in my memory? Who doesn't? How can I not trust memory. It is as if I were to develop a mistrust for my right hand or my left foot. Yet I am quite aware that my memory is far from perfect. I frequently forget events and people that my husband, Ira Wood, remembers, and similarly, I remember incidents that have slipped away from him. I rarely remember things incorrectly; mostly I remember clearly or I forget completely. I have distinct memories of events that happened before I was born or for which I was not present. This comes from having heard the stories told vividly by my mother or my grandmother when I was little and imagining those scenes and the people in them so clearly and intensely that I experience them as my own. I have precise memories of the voice and face of my mother's father, who died ten years before I was born. Stories about him that I heard as a child were so real to me that I created him as a living personage.

http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/ae/books/reviews/1214995

Extractions: Morrow, $25.95. I HAD never read anything by Marge Piercy until five years ago when I asked students to flip through an anthology and find a poem they liked well enough to present to the class. Of the hundreds of poems to choose from, Piercy's Barbie Doll was the choice of three girls. None of the three had spoken to the others, but each had been moved by the strange poem about a girl willing to destroy herself in order to be what others wanted. Piercy's Sleeping With Cats is the memoir of a now 65-year-old woman who has refused to live her life according to the expectations of family, friends, lovers or literary followers. To the conventional-minded, some periods of her life may seem a tortuous path. But the streetwise girl who emerged from poverty has become one of America's most respected authors.

Extractions: Marge Piercy's Biography Marge Piercy was born March 31, 1936 in Detroit into a family that had been, like many others, affected by the Depression. Her mother, Bert Bernice Bunnin, born in Philadelphia, had lived also in Pittsburgh and Cleveland; her father Robert Douglas Piercy grew up in a small town in the soft coal mining region of Pennsylvania. They had not been living in Detroit long. Her father, out of work for some time, got a job installing and repairing heavy machinery at Westinghouse. When Piercy was little, they moved into a small house in a working-class neighborhood in Detroit which was Black and white by blocks. Piercy had one brother, fourteen years older, her mother's son by a previous marriage.. Piercy's maternal grandfather Morris was a union organizer murdered while organizing bakery workers. Her maternal grandmother, Hannah, of whom Piercy was particularly fond, was born in a Lithuanian stetl, the daughter of a rabbi. "Grandmother Hannah was a great storyteller. She and my mother told many of the same stories, but always the stories came out differently." It was her maternal grandmother who gave Piercy her Hebrew name, Marah. Although Piercy's father was not a Jew (he was raised a Presbyterian but observed no religion), she was raised a Jew by her grandmother and her mother and has remained one. Piercy credits her mother with making her a poet. Piercy describes her mother as an emotional, imaginative woman full of odd lore and superstitions. She read voraciously and encouraged her daughter to do the same. Enormously curious , she urged her daughter to observe sharply and remember what she observed. As Piercy grew older and became more independent, they fought viciously. Finally, Piercy left home at seventeen and recalls that she and her mother were not really in sustained harmony until very late in her mother's life. Her mother died in 1981. Piercy was much closer to her mother than to her father, who died in 1985.

http://www.leftbankreview.com/echo/2ndQtr-00/page8.html

Extractions: Piercy's writing uses all of her life as its province. When one reads Piercy's work, one realizes that one of the paradoxes of human existence is that all experience, when transmitted through the medium of art, is for the observer, enjoyable. -Even painful experiences. One also realizes that we as humans, find some value in all intense living. Certainly lines from Piercy's poem "Intimacy" make this paradox clear. " Why does my life so often/ feel like a slither of entrails/ pouring from a wound in my belly?/ With both my hands I grasp/ my wet guts, trying to force/ them back in." Although Marge Piercy is perhaps most known for her poetry, her power as a writer is also felt in her fiction. Given her ability to write both genres so passionately and directly, when asked to describe what the difference is between writing fiction and writing poetry, she responded, Poetry comes far more directly from my life. Basically I get to exorcise my autobiographical impulses in poetry. I explore other people's lives in my fiction. Often for me fiction embodies the choices I did not make, the paths I did not follow. Poems are built out of sounds and silence. Rhythm and sound values are far more important in poetry than in fiction. Images are central. Poetry to me is more organic, more passionate, more spiritual, more intense. Fiction is about time -what happens if you make one or another choice. What happens next. And then and then and then, as a result of every choice made, what happens? Fiction to me is an art of empathy and imagination. Each novel is like a small world
