The twentieth-anniversary edition of the influential first poetry collection by Richard Siken An Atlantic choice for “Best American Poetry of the 21st Century (So Far)” Since winning the 2004 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition, Crush has become a modern classic. This twentieth-anniversary edition includes a new introduction by award-winning poet Dana Levin and a new afterword by the author.

A new edition of the Nobel laureate's searing fifth collection of poetry, about "the myth of a happy family" (The New York Review of Books). Louise Gl ck, the winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature, was an era-defining poet: innovative, brave, and wholly individual. Her work has left an indelible mark on the literature of our nation and of the world. Ararat, Gl ck's fifth collection of poetry, centers on the death of her father. Here she creates a ruthlessly probing family portrait and confronts the difficulties and intricacies of a daughter's relationship to her parents. The result is a subtle and determined collection in which the poet interrogates both her own life and the whole world that emanates from it. "I was born to a vocation," she writes, "to bear witness / to the great mysteries. / Now that I've seen both / birth and death, I know / to the dark nature these / are proofs, not / mysteries--"

Pod odnoj oblozhkoj srazu tri tsikla stikhov laureata Nobelevskoj premii Luizy Glik - "Dikij iris", "Avern" i "Noch, vseokhvatnaja noch". Nobelevskaja premija prisuzhdena Glik "za nepodrazhaemyj poeticheskij golos, asketichnaja krasota kotorogo prevraschaet lichnyj opyt v universalnyj". Golos poetessy obraschaetsja k nam s obmanchivoj prostotoj, ona rasskazyvaet istorii, k kotorym khochetsja vozvraschatsja. Ee mrachnaja intellektualnost i zverskoe ostroumie nikogo ne ostavljajut ravnodushnymi. Svjazannye voedino universalnymi temami, stikhotvorenija pomogajut nam issledovat i, nakonets, prinimat ispytanija zhizni. "Raboty Luizy Glik volnujut i udivljajut, eto i intimno, i grandiozno, ona obraschaetsja k ljudjam, kotorye chitajut tolko stikhi, i k ljudjam, kotorye pochti ne chitajut stikhov". - Den Chiasson, The New Yorker Predislovie dlja knigi sostavil Dmitrij Kuzmin.

Marigold and Rose is a magical and incandescent fiction from the Nobel laureate Louise Gl ck. "Marigold was absorbed in her book; she had gotten as far as the V." So begins Marigold and Rose, Louise Glück's astonishing chronicle of the first year in the life of twin girls. Imagine a fairy tale that is also a multigenerational saga; a piece for two hands that is also a symphony; a poem that is also, in the spirit of Kafka's The Metamorphosis, an incandescent act of autobiography. Here are the elements you'd expect to find in a story of infant twins: Father and Mother, Grandmother and Other Grandmother, bath time and naptime--but more than that, Marigold and Rose is an investigation of the great mystery of language and of time itself, of what is and what has been and what will be. "Outside the playpen there were day and night. What did they add up to? Time was what they added up to. Rain arrived, then snow." The twins learn to climb stairs, they regard each other like criminals through the bars of their cribs, they begin to speak. "It was evening. Rose was smiling placidly in the bathtub playing with the squirting elephant, which, according to Mother, represented patience, strength, loyalty and wisdom. How does she do it, Marigold thought, knowing what we know." Simultaneously sad and funny, and shot through with a sense of stoic wonder, this small miracle of a book, following thirteen books of poetry and two collections of essays, is unlike anything Glück has written, while at the same time it is inevitable, transcendent.

Rose är en social varelse. Marigold tycker mest böcker, trots att hon ännu inte kan läsa. Allting kommer att försvinna, men Marigold kommer att lära sig fler och fler ord så att hon kan skriva sin bok. Ändå är det Rose som pratar först. Marigold och Rose är en lika melankolisk som munter berättelse om tvillingarna Marigolds och Roses första levnadsår, om deras upptäckt av världen och insikter om Mamma, Pappa, Mormor och vad de försöker att undanhålla dem. En sagolik undersökning om vad som har varit och vad som kommer att bli, berättad av de båda bebisarna genom Louise Glücks precisa språk och blick. Louise Glück (f. 1943) och tilldelades 2020 såväl Nobelpriset i litteratur som Tranströmerpriset. Efter tretton dikt- och två essäsamlingar är Marigold och Rose hennes första prosabok.

Teoksellaan Villi iiris (The Wild Iris 1992) nobelisti Louise Glück murtautui lopullisesti yhdysvaltalaisten lukijoiden tietoisuuteen. Hengästyttävän kauniit runot tutkivat luontoa, kuolevaisuutta, aikaa, hengellisyyttä, identiteettiä ja rakkautta, ja päätyvät ylistämään elämän tulikoetta - kirjailijan jo tutuksi tulleella, selkeällä ja varmalla käsialalla. Teos palkittiin Pulitzer-runopalkinnolla vuonna 1993. Kirja sai myös Poetry Society of America -seuran jakaman William Carlos Williams -palkinnon. "Louise Glück on runoilijana voimallinen ja unohtumaton hahmo. Hänen runoutensa on saavuttanut epätavallisen tason, jolla se ei ole sen enempää 'tunnustuksellista' kuin 'intellektuaalistakaan' sanojen tavallisissa merkityksissä, joita usein pidetään vastapooleina runouden elämässä [...]. Mikä ihmeellinen kirja Villi iiris onkaan, ilmestyessään tämän vuosisadan loppuessa, kukkien kielellä kirjoitettuna." -- Helen Vendler, The New Republic"On vain harvoja elossaolevia nykyrunoilijoita, joiden uuteen teokseen tarttuu aina yhtä innokkaasti. Louise Glück komeilee tuon listan kärjessä. Hänen runojensa tunteen intensiivisyys ja retorinen voima ovat kiistattomia. [...] Niille on ominaista pakoton hallinnan tuntu ja ilmaisun selkeys, joka skalpellin tavoin viiltää halki utuverhon toivon ja tuskan väliltä." -- David Biespiel, The Washington Post

Louise Gluck, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2020, takes a new direction in a fable which returns to essential questions of identity and belonging.

Marigold and Rose is a magical and incandescent fiction from the Nobel laureate Louise Gl ck. "Marigold was absorbed in her book; she had gotten as far as the V."

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE A haunting book by a poet whose voice speaks of all our lifetimes Louise Gl ck's thirteenth book is among her most haunting. Here as in the Wild Iris there is a chorus, but the speakers are entirely human, simultaneously spectral and ancient. Winter Recipes from the Collective is chamber music, an invitation into that privileged realm small enough for the individual instrument to make itself heard, dolente, its line sustained, carried, and then taken up by the next instrument, spirited, animoso, while at the same time being large enough to contain a whole lifetime, the inconceivable gifts and losses of old age, the little princesses rattling in the back of a car, an abandoned passport, the ingredients of an invigorating winter sandwich, a sister's death, the joyful presence of the sun, its brightness measured by the darkness it casts. "Some of you will know what I mean," the poet says, by which she means, some of you will follow me. Hers is the sustaining presence, the voice containing all our lifetimes, "all the worlds, each more beautiful than the last." This magnificent book couldn't have been written by anyone else, nor could it have been written by the poet at any other time in her life.

Vinterrecept från kollektivet är Louise Glücks första diktsamling publicerad efter att hon tilldelades Nobelpriset i litteratur. Dikter som präglas av en spöklik känsla och som kommer läsaren lika nära som kammarmusik.Intim dikt stor nog att rymma en hel livstid: ålderdomens gåvor och förluster, småflickornas stoj i baksätet, ett pass bortglömt på hotellrummet, en systers död, solstrålarnas värmande sken och dess ljus betraktat mot solens mörker.

A major career-spanning collection from the inimitable Nobel Prize-winning poetFor the past fifty years, Louise Glück has been a major force in modern poetry, distinguished as much for the restless intelligence, wit and intimacy of her poetic voice as for her development of a particular form: the book-length sequence of poems. This volume brings together the twelve collections Glück has published to date, offering readers the opportunity to become immersed in the artistry and vision of one of the world's greatest poets.From the allegories of The Wild Iris to the myth-making of Averno; the oneiric landscapes of The House on Marshland to the questing of Faithful and Virtuous Night - each of Glück's collections looks upon the events of an ordinary life and finds within them scope for the transcendent; each wields its archetypes to puncture the illusions of the self. Across her work, elements are reiterated but endlessly transfigured - Persephone, a copper beech, a mother and father and sister, a garden, a husband and son, a horse, a dog, a field on fire, a mountain. Taken together, the effect is like a shifting landscape seen from above, at once familiar and unspeakably profound.

En gripende, urovekkende og fortrøstningsfull diktsamling fra vinneren av Nobels litteraturpris 2020. Louise Glücks trettende diktsamling, "Winter Recipes from the Collective", ble utgitt i USA høsten 2021. Et kor av stemmer, levende, døde, overjordiske, kommer til orde fra et sted som er lite nok til at hver stemme blir hørt, og samtidig stort nok til å romme et helt liv: alderdommens ufattelige gaver og tap, de små prinsessene som sludrer i baksetet på en bil, et forlagt pass, ingrediensene i et styrkende vintermåltid, en søsters død, solens gledelige tilstedeværelse, lyset fra den målt opp mot mørket den kaster av seg. "Vinteroppskrifter" fra kollektivet er en storslått samling som ikke kunne ha vært skrevet av noen annen, ei heller kunne forfatteren ha skrevet den på noe annet tidspunkt i livet.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE The collected works of the inimitable Pulitzer Prize-winning poet It is the astonishment of Louise Gl ck's poetry that it resists collection. With each successive book her drive to leave behind what came before has grown more fierce, the force of her gaze fixed on what has yet to be imagined. She invented a form to accommodate this need, the book-length sequence of poems, like a landscape seen from above, a novel with lacunae opening onto the unspeakable. The reiterated yet endlessly transfigured elements in this landscape--Persephone, a copper beech, a mother and father and sister, a garden, a husband and son, a horse, a dog, a field on fire, a mountain--persistently emerge and reappear with the dark energy of the inevitable, shot through with the bright aspect of things new-made. From the outset ("Come here / Come here, little one"), Gluck's voice has addressed us with deceptive simplicity, the poems in lines so clear we "do not see the intervening fathoms." From within the earth'sbitter disgrace, coldness and barrenness my friend the moon rises: she is beautiful tonight, but when is she not beautiful?To read these books together is to understand the governing paradox of a life lived in the body and of the work wrested from it, the one fated to die and the other to endure.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATUREA dreamlike collection from the Nobel Prize-winning poet A Village Life, Louise Gl ck's eleventh collection of poems, begins in the topography of a village, a Mediterranean world of no definite moment or place: All the roads in the village unite at the fountain. Avenue of Liberty, Avenue of the Acacia Trees-- The fountain rises at the center of the plaza; on sunny days, rainbows in the piss of the cherub. --from "tributaries" Around the fountain are concentric circles of figures, organized by age and in degrees of distance: fields, a river, and, like the fountain's opposite, a mountain. Human time superimposed on geologic time, all taken in at a glance, without any undue sensation of speed. Gl ck has been known as a lyrical and dramatic poet; since Ararat, she has shaped her austere intensities into book-length sequences. Here, for the first time, she speaks as "the type of describing, supervising intelligence found in novels rather than poetry," as Langdon Hammer has written of her long lines--expansive, fluent, and full--manifesting a calm omniscience. While Gl ck's manner is novelistic, she focuses not on action but on pauses and intervals, moments of suspension (rather than suspense), in a dreamlike present tense in which poetic speculation and reflection are possible.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE A luminous collection of essays from Louise Gl ck, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and one of our most original and influential poets Five decades after her debut poetry collection, Firstborn, Louise Gl ck is a towering figure in American letters. Written with the same probing, analytic control that has long distinguished her poetry, American Originality is Gl ck's second book of essays--her first, Proofs and Theories, won the 1993 PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction. Gl ck's moving and disabusing lyricism is on full display in this decisive new collection. From its opening pages, American Originality forces readers to consider contemporary poetry and its demigods in radical, unconsoling, and ultimately very productive ways. Determined to wrest ample, often contradictory meaning from our current literary discourse, Gl ck comprehends and destabilizes notions of "narcissism" and "genius" that are unique to the American literary climate. This includes erudite analyses of the poets who have interested her throughout her own career, such as Rilke, Pinsky, Chiasson, and Dobyns, and introductions to the first books of poets like Dana Levin, Peter Streckfus, Spencer Reece, and Richard Siken. Forceful, revealing, challenging, and instructive, American Originality is a seminal critical achievement.

Winner of the Nobel Prize in LiteratureThe masterful collection from the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Wild Iris and Vita Nova Louise Gl ck has long practiced poetry as a species of clairvoyance. She began as Cassandra, at a distance, in league with the immortal; to read her books sequentially is to chart the oracle's metamorphosis into unwilling vessel, reckless, mortal and crude. The Seven Ages is Gl ck's ninth book, her strangest and most bold. In it she stares down her own death, and, in doing do, forces endless superimpositions of the possible on the impossible--an act that simultaneously defies and embraces the inevitable, and is, finally, mimetic. over and over, at each wild leap or transformation, flames shoot up the reader's spine.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Winner of the 2014 National Book Award for Poetry A luminous, seductive new collection from the "fearless" (The New York Times) Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Louise Gl ck is one of the finest American poets at work today. Her Poems 1962-2012 was hailed as "a major event in this country's literature" in the pages of The New York Times. Every new collection is at once a deepening and a revelation. Faithful and Virtuous Night is no exception. You enter the world of this spellbinding book through one of its many dreamlike portals, and each time you enter it's the same place but it has been arranged differently. You were a woman. You were a man. This is a story of adventure, an encounter with the unknown, a knight's undaunted journey into the kingdom of death; this is a story of the world you've always known, that first primer where "on page three a dog appeared, on page five a ball" and every familiar facet has been made to shimmer like the contours of a dream, "the dog float ing] into the sky to join the ball." Faithful and Virtuous Night tells a single story but the parts are mutable, the great sweep of its narrative mysterious and fateful, heartbreaking and charged with wonder.
