Louise Gluck's award-winning collection of essays is a work of a major poet and teacher, offering consolations of clarity through her criticism of T.S. Eliot, George Oppen, Sylvia Plath, Robinson Jeffers, Wallace Stevens, John Berryman, and others.

Format: Book
Length: 128 pages
Publication date: 09 May 2022
Publisher: Carcanet Press Ltd


Louise Gluck, the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2020, is a major poet and distinguished teacher whose award-winning collection of essays is a testament to her unsparing candour and critical acumen. Her essays delve into her upbringing, human and literary antecedents, and the details of lives and poems, seeking to understand them. Gluck's criticism takes risks and can be fierce, passionate, and merciless, even when the subject is herself. However, her consolations are those of clarity, as she attends to T.S. Eliot, George Oppen, Sylvia Plath, Robinson Jeffers, Wallace Stevens, John Berryman, and others, appraising what is risked in the work of each writer and what we risk and gain in reading them.
