Power Politics is a book of poetry by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, published in 1971.
It contains her famous simile:

You fit into me
like a hook into an eye
a fish hook
an open eye
The violent surprise of this poem is typical of Atwood’s imagery.[1]
Gender is a crucial theme in Power Politics. The collection was often dismissed as a poetic version of Women's Lib although Atwood herself rejected the notion that the Women's Movement influenced the conception of Power Politics.[2]
