"Have now read this book two times, and still it does not quite hit. Gluck has amazing line breaks and images and her voice has an eery authority--one that has been through fire and back--but, still, this collection does not hold a candle to "The Wild Iris." Will have to read more Gluck to see if her other collections break the standard she has already set."

"I had this stanza posted from "Ripe Peach" in my office for years:
"There was a time/Only certainty gave me/any joy. Imagine-/
certainty, a dead thing."
This is a but of example of the wise and beautiful poetry that is Louise Gluck's "The Seven Ages".
Speaking of the separation of body and soul in the poem, "Mitosis":
"But at some point the mind lingered./It wanted more time by the sea, more time in the fields/gathering wildflowers."
Or "The Muse of Happiness": "And darkness delayed by the season./So that it seems/part of a great gift""

"Although this is Louise Gluck's 9th book....it is my first experience with her work. I like her style , and her poems are easy to understand. Although some of the poems included are thought provoking I found most comfortable and peaceful. ( A treat for me on Mothers Day Weekend) I will be reading more of Gluck's books. Pulitzer Prize , Bobbitt Natl Poretry Prize amoung her awards."
