Calligraphies: Poems

by Marilyn Hacker

Book Overview

Moving from Paris to Beirut and back, Calligraphies is a tribute to exiles and refugees, the known and unknown, dead and living, from the American poet Marie Ponsot to the Syrian pasionaria Fadwa Suleiman. Award-winning poet Marilyn Hacker finds resistance, wit, potential, and gleaming connection in everyday moments--a lunch of "standing near the fridge with / labneh, two verbs, and a spoon"--as a counterweight to the precarity of existence.
