About this collection, poet Toi Derricotte said:
"Marilyn Hacker is a collector of the daily wonders, of dependable and loving friends, lovers, of a panoply of conversations, events, items of clothing, furniture, food, music, places, and beautiful words themselves. Her title suggests formality and order; however, while she is still the 'boss' of fixed form, these Squares and Courtyards open into dark and undomesticateable concerns. Through nine collections, each book shows her more clearly to be a major poet of our time. I wait for her new work, for, as she goes through life's passages, I feel that dignity in sorrow and celebration in joy, which so delights and instructs us."
Hardcover, 107 pages.
