Longlisted for the National Book AwardA selection of poems that addresses the quotidian and the global, from one of our most essential poets.Drawing on two decades worth of awardwinning poetry, Marilyn Hackers generous selections in A Strangers Mirror include work from four previous volumes along with twentyfive new poems, ranging in locale from a solitary bedroom to a refugee camp.In a multiplicity of voices, Hacker engages with translations of French and Francophone poets. Her poems belong to an urban world of cafs, bookshops, bridges, traffic, demonstrations, conversations, and solitudes. From there, Hacker reaches out to other sites and personas: a refugee camp on the Turkish/Syrian border; contrapuntal monologues of a Palestinian and an Israeli poet; intimate and international exchanges abbreviated on Skypeperhaps with gunfire in the background.These poems course through sonnets and ghazals, through sapphics and syllabics, through every historicorganic pattern, from renga to rubaiyat to Hayden Carruths paragraph. Each is also an implicit conversation with the poets who came before, or who are writing as we read.A Strangers Mirror is not meant only for poets. These poems belong to anyone who has sought in language an expression and extension of his or her engagement with the worldfar off or up close as the mornings first cup of tea.
