Editorial Reviews

Winter Numbers is her strongest book to date.”

Grace Shulman - The Nation

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

Through the terrors of death, history, pain, and love, Marilyn Hacker's mind moves like a laser beam. These poems are among the most incisive pieces of writing we have. As for the writing, the poetry, it is brilliant.

Hayden Carruth

This seventh volume of poems by NBA winner Hacker was nominated for an NBCC. (Oct.)

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly

"In Hacker we have a poet who has gone to the center while broadening the periphery," said LJ's reviewer when these two works were published jointly. (LJ 9/15/94)
