81. Marge Piercy: Exposed Expressions Of Life (December 20, 1999). piercy, marge. The Moon Is Always Female. New York Alfred A. Knopf, 1987. The marge piercy Website, www.margepiercy.com. http://www.leftbankreview.com/echo/2ndQtr-00/page8.html

Exposed Expressions (Continued) 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

Marge Piercy, Woman on the Edge of Time (Fawcett, 1977) Marge Piercy's Woman on the Edge of Time is either a utopian fantasy or a horrific recognition of the limitations of human evolution, depending upon the reader's perspective. It's a dark and violent novel in which the protagonist has no real hope of salvation, yet the fate of the world may rest within her unsettled psyche. We meet Consuelo Ramos in the midst of a family crisis that ends with her admission to a mental institution. Impoverished and abused, misdiagnosed and tortured, she has every reason to go crazy. Yet she seems perfectly sane until the day when she begins to see visions of people living in the year 2137, who claim to have contacted her because she is "receptive" to them. The citizens of Mattapoisett want Connie to visit their era because if things aren't changed in her present, the future may cease to exist. Connie is a very unlikely heroine. She appears to be a sociopath to her doctors, who cite as evidence of her instability the fact that she has had a broken marriage, a love affair with a blind pickpocket and a conviction for child abuse. They know nothing of the desperate family and financial crises that have shaped her life, nor can they understand the prejudice to which she has been subjected as a Mexican-American woman. The social workers consider it lucky that Connie has lost custody of her daughter Angelina for the child's sake. They refuse to understand that if Connie is insane, their own cultural failures have made her that way.

More World War II Books by Marge Piercy THE THIRD CHILD Reading Group Guides THREE WOMEN STORM TIDE GONE TO SOLDIERS Marge Piercy Fawcett Books Historical Fiction ISBN: 0449215571 This richly complex novel is by far Piercy's best as she follows the lives of ten people during World War II. It's not the war most novelists have written about. The chapters alternately tell the stories of people behind the scenes: a female pilot; a painter who gets caught up in the Resistance; a factory worker at home; a Jewish Marine fighting both the Japanese and anti-Semitism; a man dodging U-boats while running supplies; a romance writer striving to become a serious journalist; a cryptographer in Washington; a young privileged American who finds herself in the intelligence service in London; a spoiled Parisian who scorns her Jewish background until war changes her view of her heritage; and, the Parisian's younger sister who is sent to America for safety. Many of their stories intertwine eventually, some tangentially, some profoundly.

For the young who want to Talent is what they say you have after the novel is published and favorably reviewed. Beforehand what you have is a tedious delusion, a hobby like knitting. Work is what you have done after the play is produced and the audience claps. Before that friends keep asking when you are planning to go out and get a job. Genius is what they know you had after the third volume of remarkable poems. Earlier they accuse you of withdrawing, ask why you don't have a baby, call you a bum. The reason people want M.F.A.'s, take workshops with fancy names when all you can really learn is a few techniques, typing instructions and some- body else's mannerisms is that every artist lacks a license to hang on the wall like your optician, your vet proving you may be a clumsy sadist whose fillings fall into the stew but you're certified a dentist. The real writer is one who really writes. Talent
