The poem “A Work of Artifice” was written in 1970 by American poet Marge Piercy. It’s one of her earlier poems and was published in her book The Art of Blessing the Day. Piercy actually first published this poem in 1970 as a broadside—a kind of flyer meant to be easily shared. So that tells us the poem was meant to make a strong statement and be part of the feminist movement happening at the time.
