Marilyn Buck was a committed political radical, imprisoned for
over thirty years for her revolutionary activities. She was also a
prolific writer and poet, publishing her work in a prize-winning
chapbook, an audio CD, and in various journals and anthologies. She
received a PEN American Center prize for poetry in 2001.
Buck was released from prison less than a month before her death
at age sixty-two from uterine cancer. This selection of her finest
poetry is a living testament to the fierce intelligence and huge
compassion that inspired and informed her life, and to the
transcendence of her poetic vision.
"This is an important book on so many levels... it models a
degree of resistance most of us are never called upon to
develop.""--Ms. Magazine"
"Though it is unclear from Buck's writing what place organized
religion had for her after she left home, these pages contain
prayers, answers, wise and generous gifts.""--The Rumpus"
