Louise Glick has published a dozen collections of poems, essays and a novel, ‘Maridold and Rose: A fiction’ (2022), about the inner lives of two very different twins
At the age of 80, the American poet and Nobel laureate of Literature Louise Glick has died, as her publishing house and Yale University, where she taught, confirmed to AFP yesterday, Friday.
Born in New York, Louise Glick is considered one of the most important figures of American poetry. She had been honored in 2020 by the Swedish Academy for “her distinctive poetic voice” and had become the 16th woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
“Louise Glick’s poetry gives voice to our unquenchable thirst for knowledge and connection in a world that is often only slightly reliable. Her work is immortal,” hails Jonathan Galassi’s publisher of Farrar, Straus and Giroux in a statement to AFP.
Her work, which began in the late 1960s and is famous for its flowing style and idealization of the simple beauty of nature, has won her numerous awards in the United States.
For her polyphonic poetry collection “The Wild Iris”, published in 1992, she was awarded, for example, the Pulitzer Prize.
In more than 50 years, Louise Glick published a dozen collections of poems, essays and a novel, “Maridold and Rose: A fiction” (2022), about the inner lives of two very different twins.
