"Both stoic and emotional, shrewdly economical and radically expansive, Glück’s poetry charts nuanced pathways to understanding by challenging and reimagining critical aspects of the human condition." -Isabella B. Cho
Often regarded as one of America’s most talented and accomplished contemporary poets, Louise Glück writes about the self like no other. Her poeticism stems from the voices of Plath, Berryman, and Lowell, exploring the struggles of life. Often writing on themes such as mortality, divorce, and loneliness, Glück universalizes personal experiences in a moving and rich way. In 2020, Glück won the Nobel Prize in Literature, "the first American-born poet to hold this title since T.S Eliot in 1948" (NYT).
