Summary

This volume contains selections of work from five books by one of America's most acclaimed and most controversial poets. Marilyn Hacker's poems have been praised for their technical virtuosity, for their forthright feminism, political acuity, and equally unabashed eroticism. This book enables new readers to discover an important poet, others to reread and retrace the poet's progress from promise to maturity.
