I'm reading her all day.


Dead End
Louise Glück

I said, "Listen, angel, wean me from this bit."
I said, "Divorce me from this crap, this steady diet
Of abuse with cereal, abuse
With vodka and tomato juice,
Your planted billets doux among the bric-a-brac."
Staying was my way of hitting back.
I tended his anemia and did the dishes
Four months—the whole vicious,
Standard cohabitation. But my dear, my dear,
If now I dream about your hands, your hair,
It is the vividness of that dead end
I miss. Like chess. Mind against mind.

This is great news. I have been a fan of hers for decades.

Susan

[John Riley]

Yes, great news. Her early books meant so much to me. I didn't expect it. I don't follow the who is on first news. Was she on the lists?

[James Brancheau]

Yeah, she's wonderful. She's been an influence since I started. That's a great poem, Jim. (Gjertrud, too)

[R. S. Gwynn]

The poet of post-psychoanalytic privilege. I've read her going on 50 years and have never found anything interesting in her language.

[James Brancheau]

Withdrawn.

[Quincy Lehr]

She's competent, understated, with a subtle, quiet music.... Actually, that's elevator music, but it still works.

[R. S. Gwynn]

James, my poems consist of words and occasional punctuation marks.
