Marge Piercy

(in conjunction with the Wallace Literary Agency)

Marge Piercy is the author of seventeen novels including the classic Woman on the Edge of Time; seventeen volumes of poetry, a critically acclaimed memoir and four non-fiction books.

Born in Detroit in 1936, educated at the University of Michigan, and the recipient of four honorary doctorates, she has been a key player in many of the major progressive political battles of our time, including the anti-Vietnam war and the women’s movement, and more recently an active participant in the resistance to the war in Iraq.

Praised as one of the few American writers who are accomplished poets as well as novelists, Piercy is also the master of many genres: historical novels, science fiction, novels of social comment and contemporary entertainments. She has taught, lectured and performed her work at well over 400 universities around the world, and her work has been translated into twenty-one languages.
