Marilyn Hacker

Love, Death, and the Changing of the Seasons

This critically acclaimed sonnet sequence is the passionately intense story of a love affair between two women, from the electricity of their first acquaintance to the experience of their parting.

"Elegant and versatile in the strictest forms, [Hacker] is inventive and exuberant in content. She's colloquial, lyrical, uncouth, old-fashioned, and fun. (How many books of poems are fun?) . . . No one sings quite like this. A capella, she's a whole choir."—New York Times Book Review
