Winter Numbers by Marilyn Hacker

In her seventh volume Marilyn Hacker confronts life and death at the end of our genocidal century, making another extraordinary contribution to the feminist and lesbian canon.
"Through the terrors of death, history, pain, and love, Marilyn Hacker's mind moves like a laser beamThese poems are among the most incisive pieces of writing we have. As for the writing, the poetry, it is brilliant." -- Hayden Carruth "Winter Numbers is Hacker at the top of her form, bending rhyme and meter to her uses, dazzling us with her formalist prowess and breaking our hearts with her impassioned narrative." -- Maxine Kumin "Winter Numbers is her strongest book to date." -- Grace Shulman
Marilyn Hacker is the author of nineteen volumes of poems. Her honors include the National Book Award, the Lambda Literary Award, the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation, the Robert Fagles Translation Prize, and the PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry. She lives in Paris.
