Book Reviews of Squares and Courtyards: Poems
Book Review: Beautiful but not happy.
Summary: 4 Stars
Marilyn Hacker writes poetry beautifully. She also writes beautiful poetry. This collection exhibits both of these traits. Her poems are always sensitive, perceptive, and moving. These are all of the above; especially deeply moving. But be warned, these are not happy poems. She touches on death, desease, and grief. She describes loss and apprehension of loss. If you are looking for a sympathetic voice who has been through all of these emotions and survived; or if you are looking for help in coping yourself, then read these carefully. If you want to be uplifted choose one of her other collections.
