Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Here is a rich collection of work from five books by one of America's most controversial poets. Marilyn Hacker's poems have been praised for their technical vituosity, forthright feminism, political acuity, and unabashed eroticism.

Included are selections from Hacker's first book, Presentation Piece(1974), the Lamont Poetry Selection of the Academy of American Poets and a National Book Award Winner; Separations(1976); Taking Notice(1980), which was claimed as an integral part of the burgeoning feminist and lesbian canon; Assumptions(1985), which explored the connundrums of gender, race, and identity in contemporary life; and Going Back to the River(1990), which received a Lambda Literary Award.
