Firstborn: Poems by Louise Glück

3.0

I had been unfamiliar with Louise Gluck until learning she was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature; I then purchased a large compilation of all her work. This is the first volume in it.

I appreciate reading poetry because it forces me to slow down, to absorb, but I admit I had a guide with me for Gluck's work. I think there's more there than I pick up on, and I would benefit from outside analysis. I will keep reading through her canon and will appreciate when I stumble upon phrases that captivate me.
