Louise Glück's book-length sequence combines an account of a contemporary marriage's dissolution with Homer's Odyssey. Myth and modern life offer valuable lessons in irony and clarification. Penelope, Circe, Telemachus, and Odysseus are vividly portrayed, distinct from their dusty representations. Glück's poems are simultaneously humorous, expansive, tolerant, and heartbreaking. The dialogues reveal underlying dramas, while the trivia of daily life adds depth. She also explores the concept of nostos, the homecoming that drives Homer's poem. We view the world once, in childhood, and the rest is memory.
