Marge Piercy's Tarot poems are some of my favorites. I also admire her love poems. (I might argue that all poets should be judged on their love poems--the heart of their verse.) Much of her work examines gender and leftist politics, and sometimes she uses amazing Plath-like metaphors. I didn't love every poem, but I liked most and loved quite a few.
