The winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature and Poet Laureate of the United States from 2003-2004 was 80 years old.
Louise Glück, winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature and Poet Laureate of the United States from 2003-2004 has died. She was 80 years old."Louise Glück's poetry gives voice to our untrusting but un-stillable need for knowledge and connection in an often unreliable world," said the poet's longtime editor, Jonathan Galassi, in a statement."Her work is immortal.
One of the country's most revered poets, Glück took her inspiration from Greek mythology, her own life, and even everyday things. For instance, her poem about dying,"At the end of my suffering / there was a door. / Hear me out: that which you call death / I remember." "Louise's voice was wholly its own, always deft and strange. She built up the terrain of lyric poetry — making it new while singing its deep past," said poetOver a career spanning around five decades, Gluck's spare, incisive verse won fistfuls of awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Humanities Medal, and the National Book Award.
Glück was born in New York in 1943. Her first book was rejected 28 times, she said in her Nobel biography. Its publication was followed by a long writing drought.
