    Louis Gluck <\/a><\/p>\n

    The American poet Louise Gl\u00fcck \u2013 awarded this year\u2019s NobelPrize in Literature \u2013 was born 1943 in New York and lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
    \nApart from her writing she is a professor of English at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut.
    \nGl\u00fcck seeks the universal, and in this she takes inspiration from myths and classical motifs, present in most of her works.
    \nThe voices of Dido, Persephone and Eurydice \u2013 the abandoned, the punished, the betrayed \u2013 are masks for a self in transformation, as personal as it is universally valid.
    \nLouise Gl\u00fcck is not only engaged by the errancies and shifting conditions of life, she is also a poet of radical change and rebirth, where the leap forward is made from a deep sense of loss.
    \nIn one of her most lauded collections, The Wild Iris (1992), for which she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, she describes the miraculous return of life after winter in the poem “Snowdrops”:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Louise Gl\u00fcck – 1943-<\/p>\n

    Is it winter again, is it cold again,
    \ndidn’t Frank just slip on the ice,
    \ndidn’t he heal, weren’t the spring seeds planted<\/p>\n

    didn’t the night end,
    \ndidn’t the melting ice
    \nflood the narrow gutters<\/p>\n

    wasn’t my body
    \nrescued, wasn’t it safe<\/p>\n

    didn’t the scar form, invisible
    \nabove the injury<\/p>\n

    terror and cold,
    \ndidn’t they just end, wasn’t the back garden
    \nharrowed and planted\u2014<\/p>\n

    I remember how the earth felt, red and dense,
    \nin stiff rows, weren’t the seeds planted,
    \ndidn’t vines climb the south wall<\/p>\n

    I can’t hear your voice
    \nfor the wind’s cries, whistling over the bare ground<\/p>\n

    I no longer care
    \nwhat sound it makes<\/p>\n

    when was I silenced, when did it first seem
    \npointless to describe that sound<\/p>\n

    what it sounds like can’t change what it is\u2014<\/p>\n

    didn’t the night end, wasn’t the earth
    \nsafe when it was planted<\/p>\n

    didn’t we plant the seeds,
    \nweren’t we necessary to the earth,<\/p>\n

    the vines, were they harvested?<\/p>\n
