	Marilyn Hacker Criticism
		In the following interview, Hacker discusses issues of poetic form in her own work and in the verse of other poets of the past and present.
		It is no wonder that Marilyn Hacker's Presentation Piece was greeted with such éclat—and swept several prizes—a half dozen years ago.
		Miss Hacker directly discusses the rigors and discipline of writing, but she often addresses friends in a seemingly offhanded way, and some poems have a quotidian, even improvised, quality.

		Hacker is an important contemporary lesbian writer and activist, and often employs strict poetic forms in her poetry, as with Love, Death, and the Changing of the Seasons, which is a verse novel in sonnets.

	Hacker, Marilyn Criticism and Essays
		Hacker's poetry is often devoted to the minute details of domesticity, although at the same time, it deals with larger issues such as the transient nature of human relationships and of life itself.
		Hacker was born in New York City on November 27, 1942, to Albert Abraham Hacker, a management consultant, and Hilda Rosengarten, a teacher.
		Hacker “insists she feels only loss and sorrow,” according to French, rather than the justifiable anger some of the narrative situations in Love, Death, and the Changing of the Seasons would seem to provoke.

	berniE-zine Book Reviews: Selected Poems 1965-1990, by Marilyn Hacker
		Hacker uses all types of rhymes in her poetry -- perfect rhymes (such as mate, gate, late), off-rhymes that provide assonance (shoot, tune, reputed), and off-rhymes that provide rich consonance (shoot, mate).
		Hacker writes terribly personal poems and is the first poet I've read who can accurately yet compassionately address the heart-wrenching task of caring for someone (for Hacker, it's her mother) with diabetes.
		Hacker writes about her male and female lovers with equal passion, but her devotion to her daughter is what really shines through in a great many of her poems.

		Dailiness and disease fuel the award-winning Hacker's ninth collection of poetry: a grim, painstaking survey of the effects of cancer and HIV on the author's wide circle of loved ones.
		Hacker is too engaged in living to indulge grief with the youthful passion her daughter shows for a suddenly dead friend or to senescently reminisce and fade away.
		Embracing wholly contemporary matter in the idiomatic classicism perfected by her predecessor, W.H. Auden, Marily Hacker is so limber in her scansion, so poised in her shapings, that her four horsemen (cancer, AIDS, America as the lone superpower, the holocaust) trot along the pavement like drays pulling the farmer's wagon through Paris to les Halles.

		Marilyn Hacker's Winter Numbers is a meditation on death, a collection of painful poems in the wake of losing loved ones to AIDS and cancer.
		The numbers referred to here are the metronomic beats of passing time, the mile markers on life's journey, the months remaining in a doctor's grim prognosis.
		The only solace is in connection, as Hacker writes in Year's End: "Underneath the numbers, how lives are braided." Highly recommended for the mortal.

		The poet has noted that "subjects choose us, not otherwise": by the 1980s, her subjects were avowedly feminist, ranging from political ideology in "Coda" to eros in "La Fontaine de Vauclause."

		If Selected Poems 1965-1990 can be taken as an evenly representative sample of Marilyn Hacker's work, motherhood does not seem to be the single central focus of her life or her work.
		Hacker has quite a few poems about or for her daughter Iva, and Iva is mentioned in many other poems, yet much of Hacker's work focuses on other aspects of her life and interests.
		The fact that Hacker does not focus exclusively on her motherhood seems important in and of itself.

		Marilyn Hacker sums up her own work, Squares and Courtyards, when she writes, in "Paragraphs from a Daybook:"
		In her newest collection of poems, Hacker tackles large subjects: breast cancer, AIDS, the Jewish Holocaust, discrimination against Jews and gays.
		If "The Boy" succeeds where other poems in the book are clumsy and frail, it's because Hacker finds the blend of voice and form that makes her subject matter come alive.

		Marilyn Hacker is a multi award-winning poet, translator, editor and essayist.
		Hacker has always been the kind of formalist for whom traditional form is challenge and play, yes, but also the necessary container and shaper of her impulses to excess— excess desire, pleasure, fear, anger, grief, excess attention to the minute abundances and shatterings of our world.
		Her blank verse, sonnets, sapphics, and sestinas are typically in the service of the unmannerly, and commonly of the insulted and injured.

		Hacker has perfect pitch, in terms of both musicality within the line and the larger coloratura of how she handles subject matter.
		Recently, Marilyn was generous enough to offer to look at some of my poems and put in a good word for me with a magazine she co-edits.
		Marilyn wrote, “I’m sorry about the rejection, but I’m only an advisory editor (I recommended taking the sonnets.)”; For me, that was better than winning the Nobel Prize.
