"This is a threat." That's how Hackers, Swedish writer Aase Berg's seventh book of poetry, begins.

But Berg also reveals the 'hag' behind the 'hack,' channeling the non-compliant rage of Glenn-Close-as-bunny-boiler from Fatal Attraction. The world Berg "hags" back at is a world of sexist, capitalist,...
