House on Marshland

LOUISE GLUCK/The House on Marshland THE AMERICAN POETRY SERIES, 5 "Those of us who have waited impatiently for Louise Gluck's second book can rejoice that it confirms and augments the original impression of a rare and high imagination. Her poems are delicately intense, spun out of fire and air, with a tensile strength that belies their fragility. They are rooted in landscape and weather and, increasingly, in the intimacies of the heart. Everything she touches turns to music and legend." -STANLEY KUNITZ "The most profound source of elation in reading a new species of poet is the surprise in every line as a new voice and a new sensibility declares itself.... A very peculiar power, and a new style, commanding in its indifference to current modes." - The New York Times Book Review Louise Gluck lives in Vermont with her husband and son, and teaches at Williams College.
