New And Selected Sonnets From A Treasured Poet Who Insists Upon The Rawness Of Experience And The Metamorphosis Of Form With Equal Fervor And Makes Them Both Speak With The Same Voice (W. S. Merwin).Over The Course Of Her Celebrated FiftyYear Career, Marilyn Hacker Has Continuously Proven To Be A Timely, Fearless, And Lauded Poet Highly Skilled In A Wide Variety Of FormsMost Famously, The Sonnet. Transitions Is Her First Volume Consisting Entirely Of The Beloved Form.Hacker Is A Poet Of Quiet Mastery. In Her Hands, The Sonnet, Despite The Stricture Of Meter And Rhyme, Blooms Into A Living, Breathing Thing, One ThatS Contemporary, Confessional, And Subversive. Sentences Effortlessly Fall Into Formal Constraint, And Words That Evoke The Pleasure Of Everyday Language Become Petrarchan Rhymes. As Jan Heller Levi Wrote, No One Writes About Lust And Lunch Like Marilyn Hacker. And Certainly No One Has Done More To Demonstrate That Form Has Nothing To Do With Formula.From Her Early Sonnets To Those Written Decades Later, This Book Offers A Portrait Of The Seasons Of An Extraordinary Life, A Life Lived Between New York, Paris, And Beirut As An Activist, A Polyglot, And A Queer Woman. We See HackerS Speaker Grappling With Young Motherhood, The Dissolution Of Her Heterosexual Marriage, Middle Age, Relationships With Women, Chronic Illness, Care Received From Her Adult Child, And Her Twilight Years, All While Confronting Geopolitical Tension And Global Tragedies, From The Aids Epidemic To The War In Gaza.Transitions Is A Remarkable Celebration Of A Life Lived In Verse. Intelligent, Contemplative, And JusticeDriven, This Profound Collection Cements Marilyn HackerS Reputation Of One Of The Indispensable Poets Of Our Time.
