On Louise Gluck: Change What You See »

Gluck wrote nine volumes of verse, one of which won the Pulitzer Prize, and was US Poet Laureate, yet many scholars, critics, and even other poets have yet to publish on her works. Perhaps Gluck's intense subjectivity and searing honesty have given them pause. Stepping in to rectify the situation are the contributors of these 11 essays, with such topics as the trustworthiness of the speakers in Meadowlands, the structure of "The Dark Garage with the Garbage," and voice in Vita Nova. The editor adds an interview with Gluck and a short piece entitled "The Restorative Power of Art" by this most challenging of modern poets. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
