Hard Bargain

By Heather Treseler

"It has been years since I have read a new poet of such rhetorical sophistication and mastery. Wow."-- Frank Bidart

Cruxes in women's lives are the subject of poems in Hard Bargain,

including the risks that women take-and the bargains they drive-to achieve autonomy, to

safeguard care and pleasure, and to counter the ordinary misogyny in politics and culture, the

workplace and the world of art. Narrators in this book-from Daphne to Dora, and from Callas to

Leda-upend received ideas about the value of women's lives and loves, the nature of their

rights and reckonings.
