“IF You really want to hear about” my history of the 6 decades of changes in ‘my Village’ “you’ll probably want to know where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like....and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it if you want to know the truth.” In the first place that stuff bores me, and in the second places, my parents" long since in their graves in Mt Pleasant Cemetery overlooking the bowling alley in Hartville, Ohio - ”would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything very personal about them . They were quite touchy about anything like that and would not appreciate it ...Besides, I am not going to tell you my whole goddamn autobiography or something. I am just going to tell you about this stuff that happened to me” starting in the fall of 1957.

My Life My Body written by Marge Piercy and has been published by PM Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015-09-01 with Fiction categories.

In a candid and intimate new collection of essays, poems, memoirs, reviews, rants, and railleries, Piercy discusses her own development as a working-class feminist, the highs and lows of TV culture, the ego-dances of a writer’s life, the homeless and the housewife, Allen Ginsberg and Marilyn Monroe, feminist utopias (and why she doesn’t live in one), why fiction isn’t physics; and of course, fame, sex, and money, not necessarily in that order. The short essays, poems, and personal memoirs intermingle like shards of glass that shine, reflect—and cut. Always personal yet always political, Piercy’s work is drawn from a deep well of feminist and political activism. Also featured is our Outspoken Interview, in which the author lays out her personal rules for living on Cape Cod, finding your poetic voice, and making friends in Cuba.

Sleeping With Cats written by Marge Piercy and has been published by Harper Collins this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009-10-13 with Pets categories.

Marge Piercy, a writer who is highly praised as both a poet and a novelist, turns her gaze inward as she shares her thoughts on life and explores her development as a woman and writer. She pays tribute to the one loving constant that has offered her comfort and meaning even as the faces and events in her life have changed -- her beloved cats. With searing honesty, Piercy tells of her strained childhood growing up in a religiously split, working-class family in Detroit. She examines her myriad friendships and relationships, including two painful early marriages, and reveals their effects on her creativity and career. More than a reminiscence of things past, however, Sleeping With Cats is also a celebration of the present and the future, as Piercy shares her views on aging, creativity, and finding a lasting and improbable love with a man fourteen years younger than herself. A chronicle of the turbulent and exciting journey of one artist's life, Sleeping With Cats is a deeply intimate, unforgettable story.

More Than My Bestselling Memoir: Challenges of a Fiction Writer Being Overshadowed by the Success of Her Past Memoir tells the story of a young writer trying to write a second book after her first book was a runaway hit. In this story, young adult, Marge, feels stifled and uninspired as her publishers’ pressure her to find greatness yet again in her next story, but Marge is out of ideas. This is a story detailing the trials and tribulations of a writer. Most of all, it tells the story of a young woman learning that she is more than her memoir and all the gritty moments she lived through. This is a story about: • Life after the limelight and how fleeting popularity can be • Self-reflection and identity • Lots of writer’s block • Making ends meet in hard times • The pressure of expectation • Addiction, depression, and recovery • Being stuck but desperately yearning for movement • Finding inspiration in unusual places • Feeling overshadowed by one’s accomplishments • Trying to survive in the world as a young woman • Learning to love oneself regardless of professional achievement More than My Bestselling Memoir is a story about creation and growth. Most prominently, it is about Marge embracing her reputation and not letting it control her future because while she can’t unwrite her first book, she can write whatever she wants for book two. About the Writer Elise Lashinsky, a creative and idealistic individual, is an avid reader who loves to create worlds of her own, which she has been doing before she could even write. Throughout her childhood and into her adulthood, she has continuously nurtured her love of writing and storytelling throughout her endeavors. She likes to practice writing of all kinds. For Elise, writing is an invaluable craft that helps her illustrate the aspects she loves (and hates) most about the world. She tries to write at least a little every day to develop her skills and relax. Elise also has a profound love of other arts, such as music and ballet, which are other powerful methods of world-building and self-expression.

It S All Relative written by Wade Rouse and has been published by Crown this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2011-02-01 with Humor categories.

How come the only thing my family tree ever grows is nuts? Wade Rouse attempts to answer that question in his blisteringly funny new memoir by looking at the yearly celebrations that unite us all and bring out the very best and worst in our nearest and dearest. Family is truly the only gift that keeps on giving—namely, the gifts of dysfunction and eccentricity—and Wade Rouse’s family has been especially charitable: His chatty yet loving mother dresses her son as a Ubangi tribesman, in blackface, for Halloween in the rural Ozarks; his unconventional engineer of a father buries his children’s Easter eggs; his marvelously Martha Stewart–esque partner believes Barbie is his baby; his garage-sale obsessed set of in-laws are convinced they can earn more than Warren Buffett by selling their broken lamps and Nehru jackets; his mutt Marge speaks her own language; and his oddball collection of relatives includes a tipsy Santa Claus with an affinity for showing off his jingle balls. In the end, though, the Rouse House gifted Wade with love, laughter, understanding, superb comic timing, and a humbling appreciation for humiliation. Whether Wade dates a mime on his birthday to overcome his phobia of clowns or outruns a chubchasing boss on Secretary’s Day, he captures our holidays with his trademark self-deprecating humor and acerbic wit. He paints a funny, sad, poignant, and outlandish portrait of an an all-too-typical family that will have you appreciating—or bemoaning—your own and shrieking in laughter. Praise for It’s All Relative “[Filled with] sparkling humor . . . Listen to Wade Rouse—which you most assuredly should, especially if you value laughter and wisdom.”—Chicago Tribune “[Wade Rouse’s] stories are not only laugh-inducing, but also truly revealing of what it means to be a family through all stages of life, and show that no matter how kooky his family might be, love is what brings them together and defines them.”—St. Louis Magazine “Filled with uproarious one-liners and enough soul to truly satisfy, readers are going to clamor for a seat at Rouse’s holiday table! I can’t tell you how much I loved this book.”—Jen Lancaster, New York Times bestselling author of My Fair Lazy

On The Way Out Turn Off The Light written by Marge Piercy and has been published by Knopf this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020-09-29 with Poetry categories.

A bountiful group of poems--direct, honest, and revelatory--that reflect on language, nature, old age, young love, Judaism, and our current politics, from one of our most read and admired poets "Words are my business," Marge Piercy begins her twentieth collection of poetry, a glance back at a lifetime of learning, loving, grieving, and fighting for the disenfranchised, and a look forward at what the future holds for herself, her family and friends, and her embattled country. In the opening section, Piercy tells of her childhood in Detroit, with its vacant lots and scrappy children, the bike that gave her wings, her ambition at fourteen to "gobble" down all knowledge, and a too-early marriage ("I put on my first marriage / like a girdle my skinny body / didn't need"). We then leap into the present, her "twilight zone," where she is "learning to be quiet," learning to give praise despite it all. There are funny poems about medicine ads with their dire warnings, and some possible plusses about being dead: "I'll never do another load of laundry . . ." There is "comfort in old bodies / coming together," in a partner's warmth--"You're always warm: warm hands / smooth back sleek as a Burmese cat./ Sunny weather outside and in." Piercy has long been known for her political poems, and here we have her thoughts on illegal immigrants, dying languages, fraught landscapes, abortion, President-speak. She examines her nonbeliever's need for religious holidays and spiritual depth, and the natural world is appreciated throughout. On the Way Out, Turn Off the Light is yet more proof of Piercy's love and mastery of language--it is moving, stimulating, funny, and full of the stuff of life.
