Paradise, Piece by Piece

Front Cover
Riverhead Books, 1999 - Biography & Autobiography - 339 pages
In precise, sensual prose, award-winning poet Molly Peacock crafts an honest and moving memoir that takes a new look at the meaning of creativity and fulfillment in a woman's life. Lavishly praised by critics, this is the story of a child asked to grow up too soon; of the complicated web of relationships in which we define ourselves -- loyal friends, quirky relations, and tempestuous lovers; of the lifelong labor of self-determination, and finally, of creating a personal paradise, piece by piece.
