What is the aim or goal of your writing: In an article by Joan Oleck, "The Present is a Very Hard Place" Michigan Today (June 1992): "When Piercy appraises her own writings, she finds that a dominant theme is that: 'beings have a right to live, a right to their own consciousness, and must acknowledge that they're a part of the web of all living things, in history and in community.'"
