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.

Praise for The Hunger Moon

Reviews for The Hunger Moon:

  • "The selected poems deserve to be read over and over because they work together beautifully and demonstrate the poet's considerable talent and skill. They also remind readers why Marge Piercy is a literary icon whose work and career are unmatched." --The Christian Science Monitor

  • "In these consistently strong and accessible poems, Piercy writes as confidently about handbags as she does about women who were murdered on 'an ordinary morning of helping / other women choose / to be or not be / pregnant'...She also shows, page by page, that activism and the 'ordinary' joys of living can and do coexist." --The Washington Post
