Description
Louise Glück's Vita Nova is a book-length sequence that combines ecstatic utterance with worldly dramas. It exists in the long moment of spring, a time of deaths and beginnings, resignation and hope. The poem dares large statement, compassing the essential human paradox between perspective and hope. By turns stern interlocutor and ardent novitiate, Glück brings into resolution the smallest human aspiration and the vast forces that shape and thwart it. Published in 2000, Vita Nova is a powerful exploration of the human condition, written by one of the most acclaimed poets of her generation.
