Synopsis
Those who have traveled know the experience of extended time and sharpened perception. Muriel Rukeyser's account of Puck Fair ― the last existing pagan festival of the goat ― captures just that state of consciousness. Set in County Kerry, Ireland, The Orgy evokes this great American poet's journey of sensual and psychological transformation in the midst of a lush account of Irish culture and tradition. With a preface by Sharon Olds.

"The Orgy is ... a prayer about how to shape one's life. It is about blood lines and sympathy lines, about war and sexual war, about peace and the sexual dance.... It is a message in a bottle — a brilliant packet of messages in a far-traveled bottle." SHARON OLDS (from the preface to The Orgy)
