Few writers have explored women's lives, challenged conventions, and imagined new possibilities with the fearlessness and conviction of Marge Piercy.

From the groundbreaking Woman on the Edge of Time to the award-winning He, She and It, the sweeping historical novel Gone to Soldiers, and her beloved poetry, Piercy's extraordinary body of work has inspired generations of readers and writers.

Now, we're inviting you to celebrate the woman behind the words.

Join writers and educators Sands Hall and Kim Culbertson for a special online literary celebration honoring Marge Piercy's remarkable career and enduring influence.

Through readings and thoughtful discussion, we'll explore the novels, poetry, and ideas that have defined her literary life, as well as her extraordinary new memoir, The Hour of My Death: A Journal of the Year After I Died.

Whether you've admired her work for decades or are discovering her for the first time, we hope you'll join us for this celebration of a writer whose voice continues to resonate.
