And Todd is right to note (👇) that Louise Glück’s strength as a poet is intensified by her intelligence in organising her work in collections. Within & between her books, mythologising motifs proliferate, play, recur, counterpoint, mutually enrich, complicate & achieve endlessly ponderable depths
since I’ve seen several of her poems shared today, let’s also account for how Louise Glück could really write the hell out of a book, and how putting these poems next to each other is such a powerful “move”

Through use of motifs of religious & classical myth, combined with lacerating self-anatomising & shifts of perspective, register & voice, Glück moved far past what many writers remain, mere confessional versifiers of immediate experience & memory, & left us a body of great, lasting & resonant poetry
