Vita Nova

Więcej o książce

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature In Vita Nova , Pulitzer-Prize winning poet Louise Glück 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  Ararat  in 1990, Louise Glück 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 of  The Wild Iris  with the worldly dramas elaborated in  Meadowlands. Vita Nova  is 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 Nova  dares large statement. By turns stern interlocutor and ardent novitiate, Glück compasses the essential human paradox. In  Vita Nova,  Louise Glück 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.
