She was considered one of the greatest figures in American poetry. The American author Louise Glück, crowned with the Nobel Prize for Literature, has died at the age of 80, her publishing house and the prestigious Yale University at which she taught announced on Friday evening, October 13.
The New York-born poet was rewarded “for her characteristic poetic voice” by the Swedish Academy in 2020, becoming the 16th woman to win this literature prize.
“Louise Glück’s poetry gives voice to our unquenchable thirst for knowledge and connection in an often unreliable world. His work is immortal,” greeted his historic publisher Jonathan Galassi of Farrar, Straus and Giroux in a press release.
His work, begun in the late 1960s and famous for its fluid style and its sublimation of the simple beauty of nature, has earned him numerous prestigious awards in the United States.
One last work in 2022
His polyphonic collection The Wild Iris, late translated into French, published in 1992, for example, earned him the Pulitzer Prize, one of the most prestigious prizes in the world.
In more than fifty years, the author has published ten collections of poetry, essays and a novel. The latter, entitled Marigold and Rose: A fiction (2022), offers an incandescent dive into the inner lives of very different twins.
