DescriptionIn Names, Marilyn Hacker juxtaposes glimpses of contemporary lives with dialogues undertaken in signal poetic voices. Using her signature wit, passion and mastery of received and invented forms, she convinces us to believe in a world made possible by language prescient, playful, polyglot and often breathtaking. ReviewsHacker will be remembered for her instinct to balance what s fraught with what s reassuring. Hence her nimble, graceful yoking of war, exile, and the persistence of human hatred with our desire to see sunrise and sunset, to tear a bite of bread from the loaf. Marilyn Krysl |
