Poet Louise Gluck to Give Poetry Reading03:16PM / Friday, March 13, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - Louise Glück, former National Poet Laureate, will give a poetry reading on Monday, March 16, at 4 p.m. in Griffin Hall, room 3, at Williams College. The reading is free and open to the public.
Gluck has received some of the highest honors that can bestow upon a poet. In addition to being the 2003-04 Poet Laureate and honored with a Pulitzer for "Wild Iris," she won the National Book Critics Award of Arts and Letters in Literature for "Descending Figure" and a 2001 Bollinger Prize from Yale for her lifetime achievements in the arts. Gluck has had fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and National Endowment for the Arts. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Former Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky praised her, saying, "Louise sometimes uses language so plain it can almost seem like someone is speaking to you spontaneously -- but it's always intensely distinguished."
She is the author of nine volumes of poetry including: "The Firstborn" (1968), "The House of Marshland" (1975), "The Garden" (1976), "Descending Figure" (1980), "The Triumph of Achilles" (1985), "Ararat" (1990), "The Wild Iris" (1992), "Meadowlands" (1996), "Vita Nova" (1999), and "The Seven Ages" (2001).
Gluck is the Rosencranz Writer-in-Residence at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. She has taught at Williams College, the University of Iowa, and Boston University.
Her next book of poetry, titled "A Village Life," will be published in September 2009. |
