Two Feminist Poems: Domesticity As Restraint in Adrienne Rich and Marge Piercy. This paper compares critical interpretations of two poems: "Living in Sin" by Adrienne Rich, and "Work of Artifice" by Marge Piercy (sometimes called "The Bonsai Poem"). The distinction between the two poems, as seen by literary critics, is one of degrees of responsibility. However, both poems describe the torturous prison of domesticity, and the loss of power that "feminine" women experience. 4 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
