  • "An autobiography, interspersed with poems, in which American author Marge Piercy examines her life and her development as a woman and writer, discussing her childhood in Detroit, her friendships, relationships, and marriages, and the sustaining comfort of her cats, and sharing her thoughts on aging, creativity, and finding love."
  • "Marge Piercy, a writer who is highly praised as both a poet and a novelist, turns her gaze inward as she shares her thoughts on life and explores her development as a woman and writer. She pays tribute to the one loving constant that has offered her comfort and meaning even as the faces and events in her life have changed -- her beloved cats.</ With searing honesty, Piercy tells of her strained childhood growing up in a religiously split, working-class family in Detroit. She examines her myriad friendships and relationships, including two painful early marriages, and reveals their effects on her creativity and career. More than a reminiscence of things past, however, <Sleeping With Cats</ is also a celebration of the present and the future, as Piercy shares her views on aging, creativity, and finding a lasting and improbable love with a man fourteen years younger than herself.</ A chronicle of the turbulent and exciting journey of one artist's life, <Sleeping With Cats</ is a deeply intimate, unforgettable story.</"@en
