My apologies, but “Sleeping with cats” contains here only the first two stanzas. The rest are missing.

I am excited that I have the book you chose poems from; discovered I have two other Piercy books–Mars and Her Children and The Moon Is Always Female. As usual, I am inspired by your words–I, too, cannot bear to part with books. I enjoyed the reference to the poem by Bly from Don. Thank you for the Piercy poem titles and all the time you put into teaching from Ellison Bay, sometimes more than once a week.

Joyful words. Yours and Piercy’s. Thanks, Norb.

Norb: A wonder full reminder of one of the finest books of poetry by one of our great poets of the everyday and its emotional resonances. I had a similar need about two weeks ago, something outside the realm of my usual meanderings, and from one of the numerous piles around here appeared Robert Bly’s “Old Man Rubbing His Eyes.” A treasure, with soul healing balm … Don

Each one a beauty, truly. What a beautiful posting. You have let the poems go and keep the book. So human in all, you and Piercy. Thank you

I’m just finishing my week at The Clearing – so nice to see you recognize Marge P, I love both her poems and prose.
