Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
In Vita Nova, Pulitzer-Prize winning poet Louise Glck manages the apparently impossible: a terrifying act of perspective that brings into resolution the smallest human hope and the vast forces that shape and thwart it
Since Araratin 1990, Louise Gluck has been exploring a form that is, according to the poet, Robert Hass, her invention.Vita Nova--like its immediate predecessors, a booklength sequence--combines the ecstatic utterance ofThe Wild Iriswith the worldly dramas elaborated inMeadowlands. Vita Novais a book that exists in the long moment of spring: a book of deaths and beginnings, resignation and hope; brutal, luminous, and far-seeing.
Like late Yeats,Vita Novadares large statement. By turns stern interlocutor and ardent novitiate, Gluck compasses the essential human paradox.

InVita Nova,Louise Gluck manages the apparently impossible: a terrifying act of perspective that brings into resolution the smallest human hope and the vast forces that thwart and shape it.
