This collection by Louise Glück is the first book I've ever pre-ordered (which I did months in advance) and gotten on the day of release.

Anyone else a fan of her work?

The New Yorker ran a decent article about her in last week's issue. Unfortunately, it's not available in its entirety to non-subscribers. Here's the link anyway: http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/books/2012/11/12/121112crbo_books_chiasson

Thanks OP! She sounds interesting. I haven't read anything of hers yet but I think i'm defs gonna go check it out now. Thanks for the caps. What do you think of her and what are your favourites of hers?

I pre-ordered my first book recently too, Seiobo There Below by Krasznahorkai. Doesn't come out till later next year though.

I really like her, though I can't say I've read enough of her to really have a favorite. One of the things I like about her is that I don't find her too difficult to understand, but I don't find her poems to be obvious. That is to say, if I read her poem once I enjoy the writing and I get a feel for it - but I still feel like there's more to be tapped into. As I reread a couple of times, though, the poem comes more into focus. Her poetry doesn't ever seem to feel like it's eluding me. It merely takes time. If that makes any sense.

The pic-related poem is one of her easier, less complex poems, I suppose, though I still like it. It's certainly not one of her best though.

It's also, of course, nice to read poetry by such a talented writer who's still alive - that is, isn't from a time that seems to be at all remote or distant from the present, y'know?
