Louise Gluck: Nobel laureate
#5
I'm glad she won. I always liked her poetry. Not a sociological poet. A fierce inward poet like, say, Dickinson. It's funny how certain stanzas can stick in your craw. They may not even be especially profound ones either.

It is terrible to survive
as consciousness
buried in the dark earth.

That was like the poetic definition of anxiety to me.

Anyway...wrote like three or four fantastic books of poetry. Well deserved, though I was surprised she won the award.
You can't hate me more than I hate myself.  I win.

"When the spirit of justice eloped on the wings
Of a quivering vibrato's bittersweet sting."
