The First Five Books of Poems by Louise Glück
4.0
I thought it was fascinating to read Glück's earlier work in a row and see, how she developed as a writer.
I started really getting into it with "Descending Figure" and I also think that one is my favorite out of the collection. "Ararat" was my least favorite, because it was too literal and straight forward for me.
"Firstborn" I didn't vibe with too much, but it was cute.
"The house on Marshland" was the first time I saw some things that I liked that would later shape my favorite collection of hers "The wild Iris", so I enjoyed it quite a bit and finally "The Triumph of Achilles" was all right.
