Remembering Louise Glück
"Working with young minds quickly became a sort of nourishment. 'She was profoundly interested in people,' says Anita Sokolsky, a friend and colleague from Williams College, where Glück began teaching in 1984. 'She had a vivid and unstinting interest in others’ lives that teaching helped focus for her. Teaching was very generative to her writing, but it was also a kind of counter to the intensity and isolation of her writing.'"

What Sparks Poetry:
Oliver de la Paz on Language as Form
"I started writing pantoums to demarcate section breaks to rectify what I saw as an imbalance in the work. I wanted to place the pantoum, which was originally a Malaysian form, against the sonnet's Western European tradition as a subtle nod to the complications that arise when attempting to adapt to a place." |
