"An extremely prolific writer, Piercy has published close to 20 books of poetry and close to 20 novels. Her novels generally address larger social concerns through sharply observed characters and brisk plot lines. Though generally focused on issues such as class or culture, and usually written from a feminist position, Piercy's novels have taken on a variety of guises, including historical fiction and science or speculative fiction. Her novel He, She, and It (1991)-published as Body of Glass in the UK-won that country's prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award; an earlier novel of speculative fiction, Woman on the Edge of Time (1976) has been credited as the first work of cyber-punk."... "Some may say Dick Crispo is a Renaissance man, for he has held a multitude of careers focused around the arts. These careers vary widely and include: Art Historian, Lecturer, Professor, American Cultural Specialist to Latin America for the U.S. State Department and Director for the Arts in Corrections Program. Additionally, Crispo co-founded the Monterey Museum of Art's "Museum on Wheels," and he has completed over 70 murals across the United States. .
