Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
The masterful collection from the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Wild Iris and Vita Nova
Louise Glck has long practiced poetry as a species of clairvoyance. She began as Cassandra, at a distance, in league with the immortal; to read her books sequentially is to chart the oracles metamorphosis into unwilling vessel, reckless, mortal and crude. The Seven Ages is Glcks ninth book, her strangest and most bold.

In it she stares down her own death, and, in doing do, forces endless superimpositions of the possible on the impossiblean act that simultaneously defies and embraces the inevitable, and is, finally, mimetic. over and over, at each wild leap or transformation, flames shoot up the readers spine.
