On Louise Gluck features essays by leading critics, poets, and scholars that explore the work of recent U.S. poet laureate Louise Gluck. Gluck, author of nine books of poetry, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Wild Iris, is noted for her searing honesty and compelling first-person personae. Though compared to world-famous verse by Sappho and Dickinson, Gluck's poetry has remained curiously undigested among readers of contemporary poetry for some time. On Louise Gluck gathers for the first time a diverse array of essays by the leading critics of this preeminent poet. Featuring a probing, extended interview with Gluck, On Louise Gluck traces the critical reception of her work and offers new insights into her imaginative, mysterious poetry.
