Here is Penelope stubbornly weaving, elevating the act of waiting into an act of will; here, too, is a worldly Circe, a divided Odysseus, and a shrewd adolescent Telemachus. Through these classical figures, "Meadowlands" explores such timeless themes as the endless negot ..." |

 | | The Seven Ages(Reprint) by Louise Gluck Paperback, 80 Pages, Published 2002 by Ecco ISBN-13: 978-0-06-093349-4, ISBN: 0-06-093349-6 "Louise Glück has long practiced poetry as a species of clairvoyance. She began as Cassandra, at a distance, in league with the immortal; to read her books sequentially is to chart the oracle's metamorphosis into unwilling vessel, reckless, mortal, and crude. The Seven Ages is Glück's ninth book, her strangest and most bold. In it she stares down her own death, and, in so doing, forces endless superimpositions of the possible on the i ..." |
 | | Proofs & Theories(Reprint) Essays on Poetry by Louise Gluck Paperback, 150 Pages, Published 1994 by The Ecco Press ISBN-13: 978-0-88001-442-7, ISBN: 0-88001-442-3 "Proofs & Theories is a long-awaited first gathering of essays by one of this country's most brilliant poets. Like her poems, the prose of Ms. Gluck, who won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1993 for The Wild Iris, is compressed, fastidious, fierce, alert, and absolutely unconsoled. The force of her thought is apparent everywhere in her writing and whether she is contemplating - skeptically - the critical currency of ideas like "courage" ..." |
 | | Wild Iris(Reprint) by Louise Gluck Paperback, 63 Pages, Published 1993 by Ecco ISBN-13: 978-0-88001-334-5, ISBN: 0-88001-334-6 "The Wild Iris was written during a ten-week period in the summer of 1991. Louise Cluck's first four collections consistently returned to the natural world, to the classical and biblical narratives that arose to explain the phenomena of this world, to provide meaning and to console. Ararat, her fifth book, offered a substitution for the received: a demotic, particularized myth of contemporary family. Now in The Wild Iris, her most import ..." |

 | | First Four Books Of Poems(2nd Edition) by Louise Gluck Paperback, 240 Pages, Published 1999 by Ecco ISBN-13: 978-0-88001-477-9, ISBN: 0-88001-477-6 "Louise Gluck says in one of her essays that every end of a book is for her a "conscious diagnostic act, a swearing off" in which she discerns the themes, habits, and preoccupations of the previous volume to define the tasks of the next. The First Four Books of Poems shows this poet in the conscious evolution she describes, marking time in changes. Readers will hear specifics of sequence: where the ferocious tension of her first book, Fi ..." |
 | | Vita Nova(1st Edition) Poems by Louise Gluck Hardcover, 64 Pages, Published 1999 by Ecco ISBN-13: 978-0-88001-634-6, ISBN: 0-88001-634-5 "Since Ararat in 1990, Louise Gluck has been exploring a form that is, according to poet Robert Hass, her invention. Vita Nova-- like its immediate predecessors, a booklength sequence -- combines the ecstatic utterance of The Wild Iris with the worldly dramas elaborated in Meadowlands. Vita Nova is a book that exists in the long moment of spring: a book of deaths and beginnings, resignation and hope; brutal, luminous, and farseeing. Like ..." |

In Louise Gluck's new collection, night takes on the dimensions of myth, becomes the setting for a sequence of journeys and explorations through time and memory, as the speaker of the poems moves backwards into childhood and forwards into 'the kingdom of death'. ..." |

The poet who drew such unusual attention has a surprising background: for many years he has worked for Brooks Brothers, a fact that lends particular nuance to the title of his collection. The Clerk's Tale pays homage not only to Chaucer but to the clerks' brotherhood of service in the mall, where "the lig ..." |

She began as Cassandra, at a distance, in league with the immortals. To read her books sequentially is to chart the oracle's metamorphoses into unwilling vessel, reckless, mortal, down-to-earth. "The Seven Ages" is Gluck's ninth book, one of her strangest and certainly her most bold. In it - like William Blake's mystical Thel - she gazes down at her own death and in so ..." |
