Description
Louise Glück's ninth book is a bold and enigmatic work that explores the boundaries of poetry. In "The Seven Ages", she gazes down at her own mortality, forcing endless possibilities onto the impossible. This act defies and embraces the inevitable, resulting in a poem that is both unexpected and true to its materials. Glück's poetry is characterized by its use of language, occasion, and antecedent to create a tone that is wholly unexpected yet utterly true. In this book, she pushes the limits of her craft, creating a sense of transformation and metamorphosis that propels the reader forward. The result is a poem that is both wild and mesmerizing. For those interested in poetry as a form of clairvoyance, "The Seven Ages" offers a unique and thought-provoking reading experience.
