Louise Glck: A Past Poet Panel

Louise Glck: A Past Poet Panel
American poetLouise Glck passed away in 2023. For a poet so dedicated to privacy and hermeticness, Glck garnered nearly every award a poet can win, with a capstone on her career arriving in 2020, when she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature; the first time an American woman won the award since Toni Morrison in the 1993. How did these quiet, often classical poems that meditated on myth, grief, love, and death, elevate her to a poetic force and household name over a 60-year career? And what are the lasting of effects of work in the practice of contemporary poets today? In this panel, three contemporary poets take on these questions and think about the lasting legacy of her momentous career. Live-streamed on Vimeo also
