1	Wild Iris more books like this by Louise Glueck add to wishlist This haunting collection takes place in a garden, in which the voices of the flowers, the gardener, and the gods of both speak to one another in the taut emotional tenor Gluck is famous for.

Based on traditional prayer, many of the poems bear the titles "Matins" and "Vespers. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00! \| signed copies \| first editions \| SVS
2	Proofs and Theories more books like this by Louise Glueck, Louise Gluck add to wishlist Proofs & Theories is a long-awaited first gathering of essays by one of this country's most brilliant poets. Like her poems, the prose of Ms. Gluck, who won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1993 for The Wild Iris, is compressed, fastidious, fierce, alert, and absolutely unconsoled.

6	It Is Daylight more books like this by Arda Collins, Louise Gluck (Foreword by) add to wishlist Arda Collins is the 2008 winner of the annual "Yale Series of Younger Poets" competition. Mesmerizing and electric, her volume "It Is Daylight" reads as a series of dramatic monologues articulated in the privacy of an enclosed space. The poems are concrete and yet metaphysically challenging, both witty and despairing. Collins' emotional complexity ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $9.32! \| SVS

16	The Seven Ages more books like this by Louise Glück add to wishlist Louise Gluck has long practised poetry as a species of clairvoyance. She began as Cassandra, at a distance, in league with the immortals. To read her books sequentially is to chart the oracle's metamorphoses into unwilling vessel, reckless, mortal, down-to-earth.
