Louise Glück, Nobel-Winning Poet Who Explored Trauma and Loss, Dies at 80
Louise Glück, an American poet whose searing, deeply personal work, often filtered through themes of classical mythology, religion and the natural world, won her practically every honor available, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award and, in 2020, the Nobel Prize for Literature, died on Friday at her home in Cambridge, Mass. She was 80.

Louise Glück, former U.S. poet laureate and Nobel winner who wrote with ‘austere beauty,’ dies at 80
Her oeuvre included 12 collections of poetry and two volume of essays on literary writing — “Proofs and Theories” and “American Originality” — and was largely preoccupied with childhood and family relationships as well as her pursuit of clarity.
Her 2006 collection, “Averno,” is considered a masterwork for what the Nobel Committee for Literature described as its “visionary interpretation of the myth of Persephone’s descent into hell in the captivity of Hades, the god of death.”
“She seeks the universal, and in this she takes inspiration from myths and Classical motifs,” said Anders Olsson, the chairman of the committee, when Glück won the prize in 2020.

"Louise Glück's poetry gives voice to our untrusting but un-stillable need for knowledge and connection in an often unreliable world," said the poet's longtime editor, Jonathan Galassi, in a statement. "Her work is immortal."
One of country's most revered poets, Glück took her inspiration from Greek mythology, her own life, and even everyday things. For instance, her poem about dying, The Wild Iris, is told from the perspective of a flower:
"At the end of my suffering / there was a door. / Hear me out: that which you call death / I remember.“

Pulitzer prize winner and former US poet laureate was known for her sharp, austere lyrical work
A poet of succinct candor, often sadness, who worked in allusions of classical mythology amid recollections and philosophical insights, Glück was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 2020.
The Nobel judges praised “her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal”. Her poems, often brutally sharp at a page or less, demonstrated her commitment to “the unsaid, to suggestion, to eloquent, deliberate silence”.

Her works were short, often less than one page, and focused on the painful reality of being human, dealing with themes such as death, childhood, and family life
She also took inspiration from Greek mythology and its characters, such as Persephone and Eurydice, who are often the victims of betrayal.
