What Do I Read Next?
In her evocative poetry collection Colors Passing through Us (2003), Piercy delves into the treasures of her existence: love, feminism, Judaism, politics, and the joy of the senses. With a blend of wit and poignancy, she navigates the dawn of the twenty-first century, crafting a poignant tribute to loved ones lost too soon, including those who vanished on September 11, 2001.
Much like Piercy, Alicia Ostriker stands as a bold, contemporary feminist voice from a Jewish heritage, unafraid to explore themes of femininity, sexuality, and faith in her poetry. Her expansive anthology The Little Space: Poems Selected and New, 1968–1998 (1998) offers an insightful journey through three decades of her work, revealing the natural evolution of a poet alongside steadfast beliefs that remain unyielding through time.
