In the wake of the heartbreak and outrage of last week’s Supreme Court decision, I have seen numerous references to the poet Marge Piercy, who is often called “the feminist poet Marge Piercy” as if she is alone in that category. She is not. I’ve chosen this short excerpt from “The Sabbath of Mutual Respect” for the box this week in praise of choices and a breadth of imagination that acknowledges the many lives that might have been ours.
I paired Piercy with RBG for good measure and to tip my hat to the neighbor who is once again flying her DISSENT flag from its second-story pole.
“Praise all our choices. Praise any woman
who chooses, and make safe her choice.”
