The Art of Blessing the Day : Poems With a Jewish Theme by Marge Piercy About Marge Piercy's collection of her old and
new poems that celebrate the Jewish experience, the poet Lyn Lifshin
writes: "The Art of Blessing the Day is an exquisite book. The whole
collection is strong, passionate, and poignant, but the mother and
daughter poems, fierce and emotional, with their intense ambivalence,
pain and joy, themes of separation and reconnecting, are among the very
strongest about that difficult relationship.
