Ararat | Louise Gluck
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
A ruthlessly probing family portrait in verse, Gluck's sixth poetry collection confronts, with devastating irony, her father's hollow life and her mother's inability to express emotion. This might seem like a daughter's belated rebellion, except that these fierce, rock-strong, deeply felt lyrics are steeled by love and understanding.

Another of the greats we lost this past week? Louise Gluck. In the 1990s/early 2000s, I often began my writing day by reading one of her poems to recall my own connection to words. ("In our family, everyone loves flowers./That's why the graves are so odd." RIP, Louise. Thank you.

IndoorDame So sad. RIP 6mo

Deepest congrats to Louise Gluck on the Nobel Prize in Literature. I have had this collection since 1990...thirty years.
