A bountiful group of poems--direct, honest, and revelatory--that reflect on language, nature, old age, young love, Judaism, and our current politics, from one of our most read and admired poets "Words are my business," Marge Piercy begins her twentieth collection of poetry, a glance back at a lifetime of learning, loving, grieving, and fighting for the disenfranchised, and a look forward at what the future holds for herself, her family and friends, and her embattled country. In the opening section, Piercy tells of her childhood in Detroit, with its vacant lots and scrappy children, the bike that gave her wings, her ambition at fourteen to "gobble" down all knowledge, and a too-early marriage ("I put on my first marriage / like a girdle my skinny body / didn't need"). We then leap into the present, her "twilight zone," where she is "learning to be quiet," learning to give praise despite it all. There are funny poems about medicine ads with their dire warnings, and some possible plusses about being dead: "I'll never do another load of laundry . . ." There is "comfort in old bodies / coming together," in a partner's warmth--"You're always warm: warm hands / smooth back sleek as a Burmese cat./ Sunny weather outside and in." Piercy has long been known for her political poems, and here we have her thoughts on illegal immigrants, dying languages, fraught landscapes, abortion, President-speak. She examines her nonbeliever's need for religious holidays and spiritual depth, and the natural world is appreciated throughout. On the Way Out, Turn Off the Light is yet more proof of Piercy's love and mastery of language--it is moving, stimulating, funny, and full of the stuff of life.Binding Type: Hardcover

Loving these
Color: Wooden Black
Two (Med and Large) will safely hold a larger electric power strip. The Small is on my desk holding odd items and bits that should be stored upright. They're so simple to use too! I love the colored Velcro strips that come with them and the plastic cable guides. I honestly didn't know they were included so that was a BONUS! It definitely helped sort my cables and power cords for my work station as well as my crafting station. Keeping them safely out of the way means my robot vacuum can run without any complications. The wood tops actually blend with the floors making them less visible. If I needed more I would certainly get more! I may buy more for gifting.

No More Messy Looking Cords Everywhere
Color: Wooden Black
These are such a great find! My office, bedroom and living room look so much cleaner now! The sizes were just right to meet our needs. The colors matched our decor and the cords no longer stick out like a sore thumb. It was easy to get the power strip and the cords organized inside the boxes and using these is just the perfect solution to a messy problem. Highly recommended!

Hides the cords well
Color: Wooden Black
Very subtle and hides the cords and surge protector well. They look appealing and blend in with other items well allowing them to not stand out. I wish the lid snapped on, though. Depending on the cords, it sometimes sticks up. But is an easy fix.

Cable Management Box - Stylish and Functional!
The woodtone cable management box has not only decluttered my workspace but also added a touch of style. The quality of the wood finish is impressive, seamlessly blending with my decor.
The box easily conceals and organizes cables, reducing the visual chaos. However, the lid could fit a bit more snugly to enhance the overall aesthetic. Regardless, it's a practical and visually appealing solution for keeping cables tidy. A must-have for those looking to maintain a clean and organized workspace with a touch of sophistication.
