Her poems belong to an urban world of caf駸, bookshops, bridges, traffic, demonstrations, conversations, and solitudes. From there, Hacker reaches out to other sites and personas: a refugee camp on the Turkish\/Syrian border; contrapuntal monologues of a Palestinian and an Israeli poet; intimate and international exchanges abbreviated on Skype--perhaps with gunfire in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese poems course through sonnets and ghazals, through sapphics and syllabics, through every historic-organic pattern, from renga to rubaiyat to Hayden Carruth's \"paragraph.\" Each is also an implicit conversation with the poets who came before, or who are writing as we read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eA Stranger's Mirror\u003c\/em\u003e is not meant only for poets.
