Description
Sin Soracco and friends join up to pay tribute to an important activist and woman of lettersCelebrating the release of Inside/Out: Selected Poems by Marilyn Buck
preface by David Meltzer
published by City Lights Books
Marilyn Buck was a committed political radical, imprisoned for over thirty years for her revolutionary activities. She was also a prolific writer and poet, publishing her work in a prize-winning chapbook, an audio CD, and in various journals and anthologies. She received a PEN American Center prize for poetry in 2001.
Buck was released from prison less than a month before her death at age sixty-two from uterine cancer. This selection of her finest poetry is a living testament to the fierce intelligence and huge compassion that inspired and informed her life, and to the transcendence of her poetic vision.
