The third annual edition of Sarabande’s Quarternote Chapbook Series.
"Identifying with the season of autumn, the dark of it, the barren, irreversible future of it, and the beauty of it, which is not seen as redemptive, the voice of Louise Glück is starker, more direct, more emotionally charged than it has ever been. October is a masterpiece."—Mark Strand

Gluck The Triumph Of ?achilles? (cloth)

A luminous collection of essays from one of our most original and influential poets

Five decades after her debut poetry collection, Firstborn, Louise Glück is a towering figure in American letters. Written with the same probing, analytic control that has long distinguished her poetry, American Originality is Glück’s second book of essays—her first, Proofs and Theories, won the 1993 PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction. Glück’s moving and disabusing lyricism is on full display in this decisive new collection.

From its opening pages, American Originality forces readers to consider contemporary poetry and its demigods in radical, unconsoling, and ultimately very productive ways. Determined to wrest ample, often contradictory meaning from our current literary discourse, Glück comprehends and destabilizes notions of “narcissism” and “genius” that are unique to the American literary climate. This includes erudite analyses of the poets who have interested her throughout her own career, such as Rilke, Pinsky, Chiasson, and Dobyns, and introductions to the first books of poets like Dana Levin, Peter Streckfus, Spencer Reece, and Richard Siken. Forceful, revealing, challenging, and instructive, American Originality is a seminal critical achievement.

A major career-spanning collection from the inimitable Nobel Prize-winning poet
For the past fifty years, Louise Gluck has been a major force in modern poetry, distinguished as much for the restless intelligence, wit and intimacy of her poetic voice as for her development of a particular form: the book-length sequence of poems. This volume brings together the twelve collections Gluck has published to date, offering readers the

Под одной обложкой сразу три цикла стихов лауреата Нобелевской премии Луизы Глик — «Дикий ирис», «Аверн» и «Ночь, всеохватная ночь». Нобелевская премия присуждена Глик «за неподражаемый поэтический голос, аскетичная красота которого превращает личный опыт в универсальный». Голос поэтессы обращается к нам с обманчивой простотой, она рассказывает истории, к которым хочется возвращаться. Ее мрачная интеллектуальность и зверское остроумие никого не оставляют равнодушными. Связанные воедино универсальными темами, стихотворения помогают нам исследовать и, наконец, принимать испытания жизни. «Работы Луизы Глик волнуют и удивляют, это и…

A luminous, seductive new collection from the “fearless” (The New York Times) Pulitzer Prize–winning poet

Louise Glück is one of the finest American poets at work today. Her Poems 1962–2012 was hailed as “a major event in this country’s literature” in the pages of The New York Times. Every new collection is at once a deepening and a revelation. Faithful and Virtuous Night is no exception.
You enter the world of this spellbinding book through one of its many dreamlike portals, and each time you enter it’s the same place but it has been arranged differently. You were a woman. You were a man. This is a story of adventure, an encounter with the unknown, a knight’s undaunted journey into the kingdom of death; this is a story of the world you’ve always known, that first primer where “on page three a dog appeared, on page five a ball” and every familiar facet has been made to shimmer like the contours of a dream, “the dog float[ing] into the sky to join the ball.” Faithful and Virtuous Night tells a single story but the parts are mutable, the great sweep of its narrative mysterious and fateful, heartbreaking and charged with wonder.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

A haunting new book by a poet whose voice speaks of all our lifetimes

Louise Glück’s thirteenth book is among her most haunting. Here as in the Wild Iris there is a chorus, but the speakers are entirely human, simultaneously spectral and ancient. Winter Recipes from the Collective is chamber music, an invitation into that privileged realm small enough for the individual instrument to make itself heard, dolente, its line sustained, carried, and then taken up by the next instrument, spirited, animoso, while at the same time being large enough to contain a whole lifetime, the inconceivable gifts and losses of old age, the little princesses rattling in the back of a car, an abandoned passport, the ingredients of an invigorating winter sandwich, a sister’s death, the joyful presence of the sun, its brightness measured by the darkness it casts.

“Some of you will know what I mean,” the poet says, by which she means, some of you will follow me. Hers is the sustaining presence, the voice containing all our lifetimes, “all the worlds, each more beautiful than the last.” This magnificent book couldn’t have been written by anyone else, nor could it have been written by the poet at any other time in her life.

Окончив колледж Сары Лоуренс и Колумбийский университет, Луиза Глик преподавала поэзию во многих учебных заведениях Америки.
Ее первый сборник стихов "Первенец" (1968), написанный в форме монологов, отличался злостью и агрессивностью. Некоторых критиков возмутил тон сборника, другие были восхищены великолепно пластичным языком, образностью, техникой стихосложения, В последующих сборниках Л.Глик появляются исторические и мифологические персонажи, такие, например, как Гретель и Жанна Д'Арк. Ее поэтическое мастерство становится все более и более изобретательным.
В 1985 году Луиза Глик получает национальную премию критиков за сборник "Триумф Ахилла", в котором она обращается к архстипическим образам из классических мифов, волшебных сказок и Библии. За книгу "Дикий ирис" (1992) Луиза Глик была награждена Пулитцеровской премией.
Сегодня она признанный поэт, автор многих поэтических сборников и книг эссе "Доказательства и теории".
Роберт Хаас, недавний поэт-лауреат Америки, пишет: "Луиза Глик - один из чистейших и совершеннейших лирических американских поэтов. Она пишет в характерной лаконичной и элегантной манере.
В то же время ее стихи повествовательны, и предмет повествования дается во всевозможных ракурсах и с разных точек зрения, напоминая ту обстоятельность, с которой старая сонетная форма рассказывает о любви".

From the opening line ("It is not the moon, I tell you") Gluck claims absolute control of subject, craft, and perception. We see what we are instructed to see; we understand what Gluck insists we understand. Gluck's sensitivity to emotional nuance is extreme: "I ask you, how much beauty/ can a person bear? It is/ heavier than ugliness, even the burden/ of emptiness is nothing beside it." Her genius lies in her passionate restraint, a mingling of plain and elevated diction, a reliance on indirection and understatement. Resolution and revelation arise from the stately balance of poems which demand order from anarchy: "Why love what you will…

Winner of the 1993 PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Non-Fiction, Proofs and Theories is an illuminating collection of essays by Louise Glück, whose most recent book of poems, The Wild Iris, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Glück brings to her prose the same precision of language, the same incisiveness and insight that distinguish her poetry. The force of her thought is evident everywhere in these essays, from her explorations of other poets' work to her skeptical contemplation of current literary critical notions such as "sincerety" and "courage." Here also are Glück's revealing reflections on her own education and life as a poet, and a tribute to her teacher and mentor, Stanley Kunitz. Proofs and Theories is the testament of a major poet.
