#2 and Marge Piercy

So, I went to the Marge Piercy events at school today...including the writing workshop I was chosen to take part in. The workshop went okay, Piercy talked about the oral qualities of poetry and how to use them effectively. She said that she liked my poem, but she wanted me to pare it down a lot. I don't know about that, but she did give a couple good suggestions.

Later on, I went to her reading, which I enjoyed, but I really don't like some of her poetry.  At both events, the tendency toward a hero-worship attitude bothered me. I'll admit that her advice might be worth a bit more because she's had some success and publication, but what is the advantage of getting up and clapping when she enters or of getting her to sign something? Seems silly. Thus, today's poem.
