————————
Her steadfastness reminds us that we also get a kind of sediment, a residue, from the flow of life - that is, what we read carefully, eternal, simple, contoured, known. - Helen Wendler, The New York Review of Books
Glück is one of the purest and most accomplished poets still writing. —Robert Hass, U.S. Poet Laureate
Glück's language is very simple, and all her life, emotions and passion are concentrated in her writing about nature. The Nobel Prize in Literature awarded to Glück is a victory for poetry and literature. - Wang Jiaxin
Glück's poems represent an introspective mind. ——Zang Di
About the Author · · · · · ·
Louise Glück (1943- )
The American Poet Laureate, born into a Hungarian Jewish family, published his first collection of poetry, "Firstborn" in 1968. He has written twelve poetry collections and a collection of poetry essays to date. He has won various poetry awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Wallace Stevens Award from the Academy of American Poets, the Bollingen Prize, etc.
Glück's poems are good at grasping the subtle psychological aspects. Her early works are highly autobiographical, while her later works, through the confrontation between humans and gods and the psychological analysis of mythological characters, lead to the fundamental issues of human existence, love, death, life, and destruction. Since "Ararat", each of her poetry collections is an exquisite fabric that can be regarded as a long poem or a cycle of poems. Starting with "Ararat" and "Wild Iris", Glück has become a "must-read poet".
