A review by ilybinaya
The First Four Books of Poems by Louise Glück

3.0

 

raw but not polished, it became a collection of poems that seem so shriekingly immature to those of Glück's latter works. thematically it is slightly voided and too focused on the young imaginations and holograms of marriage and the perceivable horrid that arises. the rest is a mixture of myths (in introductory level) and feelings that didn't dwell well to me. it seems flat at times and void of essence. Glück's flair in poetry, though, is very well present throughout the collection, which is how some of the poems still click for me.
