	poeticvoices.com July 1997 Book Review: Meadowlands by Louise Gluck (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Gluck in her lyric "Nostos" writes, "We look at the world once, in childhood./ The rest is memory." D.H. Lawrence expanded the meaning of "nostalgia" to include a longing for a past period.
		Gluck writes, "the male believed that love/ was what one felt in one's heart/ the femal believed/ love was what one did." Surely, these contrasting attitudes lead the couple to a crisis in their marriage.
		Gluck's lack of attention to clear designations and links suggests she follows Shelley's view of the poet as "a nightingale who sits in the darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude." In spite of the difficulties and the classical references, I heartily recommend this book.

		Louise Gluck's book of poetry 'The Wild Iris' explores her views of life and death, through her attitudes towards religion.
		Gluck's fixation on religion reveals a deeper fascination with order and morality which she uses her poetry to dissect.
		The world and nature, dissected, show Gluck's bitterness towards death, but reveal a hopefulness embodied in the cycle of rebirth enjoyed by her flowers.

	Books of the poet: Louise Gluck - book works writings work
		Louise Gluck is one of those bland poets that happened to be in the right place at the right time.
		Gluck is an amazing poet and one of the wonders of her work is that it is meant to be read like a book: front to back.
		What I especially enjoy is Gluck's approach to writing a complete sequence of poems, which she then encloses in a "book." Story or myth, call it what you will--behind these poems is a disciplined passion, a sort of genius that I appreciate.

		Louise Gluck is a master poet, & it's great to be able to read such a straightforward explanation of her thoughts on some of the art.
		Gluck said early on she had "great resources of will and no self." This strength of will and lack of self almost led to her death.
		Gluck's own work uses an economy of words and therefore she admires that trait in others.

		Louise Gluck sows the fertile subject ground of marital discord in harvesting this crop of gems.
		Gluck sees, in daily life as in Odysseus's heroic one, the "unanswerable/ affliction of the human heart: how to divide/ the world's beauty into acceptable/ and unacceptable loves." These compressed and tightly focused poems are organized into a short collection of exceptional punch.
		Louise Glück's merger of the novel The Odyssey and her own life experiences in her marriage were brilliant.

		Gluck herself sets them aside, turning instead to the two visions of union that our modern myths allow: that between mother and infant, and the "coagulation of the mother and her desire" that intervenes in the mother/infant dyad as a third term, and that reveals to the child that "mother is not complete...
		Gluck hints at this return to mutability at the close of the poem as well.
		[38] Gluck's poetic success lies in the way she turns the plot of a Donahue confession or an Oprah Winfrey show into memorable and particular verse, pressing her language to an antipoetic limit that marks, in some sense, her postmodernism as well.

		Indeed the myth is stitched clumsily to the life, because Gluck has had a go at depicting her favorite subject (herself) literally coming apart at the seams.
		It is as if Gluck is traveling in a groove she has worn well over the years, perhaps too well.
		For those who are not familiar with Gluck, be assured that even this outing, not her best, still outshines most poets publishing today.

	About Louise Glück
		Pulitzer-Prize Winning Poet Louise Glück (pronounced “Glick”) addresses the themes of rejection, loss, and isolation in language that is as deceptively simple as it is technically precise.
		In both her poetry and essays, Louise Glück’s vision of the artist is one in which despair is transformed into survival through the creation of art.
		For the last 10 years Louise Gluck, one of the purest and most accomplished lyric poets now writing, has turned from the form of her early books, traditional collections of poems written over a period of time, to a series of book-length sequences.

		"Although Gluck is still in the middle of her career, it's clear that she is one of those poets-like Yeats, for example, and unlike Stevens--whose writing is provoked by their unfolding temporal life....
		For more than a decade, Gluck has been writing books of poems that are meant to be encountered like novels, and has been looking into the difficult problem of finding a structure whereby an essentially lyric gift can be adapted to epic and unifying ambitions.
		In an astonishing book-length sequence, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Louise Gluck interweaves the dissolution of a contemporary marriage with the story of The Odyssey.

		Poet Louise Gluck was just named poet laureate of the US.
		A student of Stanley Kunitz, the 60-year old Gluck gave several readings for the Academy of American Poets when I worked there as a 20 year old aspiring writer, back in the day and on the heels of Kathy Norris.
		Like James Wright, another of my favorite poets, Gluck's work--and her persona--had an undercover of sadness that always impressed me but also gave me pause.

		September 8th, 2003 6:00 PM No good-time guy: Louise Glück brings chutzpah and scope to her new post.
		It would be invidious to suggest that Louise Glück, who last week replaced Collins in the office down Library of Congress way, is the finer poet; better noted is how much more thoroughly she fits the moment.
		Poets from newer traditions will suffer quiet aggravation that the versiverse is still ruled by liberal humanists astride the crumbling throne of Modernism, and that they have yet to be represented in the halls of power.

		In an earlier set of poems, The Garden, Gluck retold the myth of Eden; in this sequence it is clear that paradise has been lost, and the poet, Eve-like, struggles to make sense of her place in the universe.
		She uses the conceit of parallel discourses between the flowers of a garden and the gardener (the poet), and between the gardener/poet and an unnamed god.
		This is the second book of Gluck's that I have read (also read The Seven Ages), and I'm not very impressed with her.

		I recently saw a review of Louise Glück's "The Seven Ages." With a kind of innocent wantonness, the reviewer dismissed the worthiness of Gluck's collective output, and flatly declared the book to be without idea, philosophy, pleasure.
		Louise Gluck has quietly become one of our greatest poets, building an impressive, meticulous body of work since the mid-1970s.
		Deceptively simple, Gluck's diamond-cut lines encompass a vocabulary refined to the simplest -- purest -- of objects and emotions, that when repeated gain a kind of elusive, opaque mystery.

		$22.00 One thing I find satisfying about a Louise Gluck book is the way each separate poem seems to comment upon, inform, and expand the work as a whole.
		By presenting the mythic alongside the everyday and contemporary, Gluck is successful in reminding us that her themes, love, grief and loss, are ones which have been with us since before there was even a written literature.
		It is important that poets provide powerful insight into, and commentary on, the contemporary world, while still finding a way to make poetry as an art form and tradition freshly relevant and renewed.
