 TERMINATION"\n\n"Not my lover, not my parents, and they said I couldn't 
 tell a friend. . ."\n\nIn 1969, Honor Moore was twenty-three, a theater 
 student yearning for love and working for radical change, but studying 
 administration and keeping secret, even from herself, her wish to imagine 
 the world by becoming a poet. There was an older lover, a professor, and, 
 with another man, an unwanted sexual encounter. \n\nThat spring, she had an 
 abortion.\n\nA Termination is the story of the young woman who made that 
 decision, and of how that act of resistance, then shrouded in fear and 
 silence, has reverberated throughout her life since. Angry, nostalgic, 
 questioning, and romantic, the memoir pursues the associations of memory, 
 moving from the New Haven of Yale Drama School, the Living Theatre and the 
 Black Panthers; to the New York City of theater, jazz, and the Chelsea 
 Hotel; the Berkshires of rock and roll at Tanglewood, and Chicago in the 
 wake of the 1968 Democratic Convention.\n\nFraming the story is a 
 self-portrait of the author fifty-five years later, a woman with a sexual 
 past, a poet who has made her own way. A lyric, searching memoir, "A 
 Termination" asks what it means to write with full honesty about one's 
 life—to explore who we were, and how our choices shape and allow who we 
 become.\n\nHONOR MOORE is the author of seven books, including the memoirs 
 The Bishop’s Daughter and Our Revolution: A Mother and Daughter at 
 Midcentury, and three collections of poems. She edited Poems from the 
 Women’s Movement and, with Alix Kates Shulman, the Library of America 
 anthology Women’s Liberation!: Feminist Writings that Inspired a 
 Revolution and Still Can. She lives in New York City, where she teaches in 
 the MFA program at the New School.\n\nANGELA HUME is a feminist historian, 
 critic, and poet. Her nonfiction book Deep Care: The Radical Activists Who 
 Provided Abortions, Defied the Law, and Fought to Keep Clinics Open is the 
 story of radical abortion defense in the San Francisco Bay Area—from 
 feminist clinical practice, to underground abortion provision, to street 
 politics and clinic defense—from the 1970s to 2000s. She is co-editor of 
 the book Ecopoetics: Essays in the Field , and her full-length books of 
 poetry include Middle Time and Interventions for Women. Angela lives in 
 Oakland and teaches writing at University of California, Berkeley. \n\nTHIS
