About Hex:

"Carol Rumens is one of the few women poets writing poetry today whose seriousness is absolute but not closed; whose political beliefs are so enmeshed with her intelligence and sympathetic passions that it is impossible to consider the state of contemporary poetry in Britain without taking her work into account ...She retains her feminine voice, but extends her sympathies beyond feminism in sinewy but heart-piercing poems."
—Anne Stevenson
