THE TWELVE-SPOKED WHEEL FLASHING
"As I cannot separate the personal and political in my life, as I will not separate emotional and intellectual judgment and experience but try to weld them, as I go back and forth from the vital dying city with its wars of plunder to the vital dying country |
with its wars of plunder, I have tried to shape this book as a a
growth ring, the record of a year. The year is a wheel that turns but does not return us to where we were. An issue is as real to me jS
as the apples on my trees, and that they sometimes have worms in them is political action, as is loving, as is talking, as is shaping these poems from the energy that comes through me from and for so many people, whose lives cross and touch, as we struggle enmeshed, sometimes blind and sometimes seeing and sometimes seeing each other."

"I was born and grew up in Detroit. Afterward I lived in Chicago, 2
Paris, Boston, San Francisco, and New York. Now I live mostly in Wellfleet on Cape Cod with one part-time and two full-time ^
sharers of land and house. Two days a week I spend in Boston in a house I share with six adults and a little girl, Jesse, age two. The house in town is cohabited by two dogs. The house and land in the country are inhabited by two cats and a wide variety of fiercely protected animal and vegetable life. We grow all our own vegetables and a fair amount of fruit. About a third of the time I am on the road. I live off my writing and off traveling and giving readings and workshops. I am active primarily in the women's movement but, as the spirit seizes me, in other issues also. My fifth novel, The High Cost of Living, will be out around the same ^
time as this, my fifth volume of poetry; and I just completed my |
first play (with David Ira Wood), The Last White Class." o
