“To the uninitiated, Louise Glück — who died on Friday at the age of 80 — could feel like an intimidating or chilly poet, her range of references so lofty and seemingly private that her work could come off as stern, austere. But to read her that way was to miss both her cool clarity and her often puckish wit; her poems, which drew on mythology and nature to explore themes of love and loss and disciplined engagement with the world, were chilly only in the bracing manner of a good martini.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/13/books/review/five-louise-gluck-poems-to-get-you-started.html?unlocked_article_code=5HevgGaOmYxniXWdwJ_LjrKkpgxT-cVZtZkqwOHKSOjTGSFr6TXkFem4q_szd2c9yoz_vwKInA_dVmgyIOpk7vrNkImqmjz3zeyTCLu7AB17bbm9ObzPqlXetgp1o0PNN85umtI0w7ETArl7d1Zzg3MWXbjbk834yEZGgXTtzmBftkvC2KTk8uuqy3gjCYDfhvf6DS7y6w9t85iV0s0CwQ2ALGZ3p2QRXuHYdOKOuuiMZtcm6_dMNylNwZS_NpVlCkXdPoIeEJe9_v5jV3Unt9il4iCahNYXyMtEqMHANMGGf9SClkBLNWoQH1CJ3vrnt7qT4IzkfnLxTT4etRCU9gGYStVID6m9cjGnwicM-YJfLo8PE220atI&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
