A luminous, seductive new collection from the "fearless" ("The
New York Times") Pulitzer Prize-winning poet
Louise Gluck is one of the finest American poets at work today. Her
"Poems 1962-2012 "was hailed as "a major event in this country's
literature" in the pages of "The New York Times." Every new
collection is at once a deepening and a revelation. "Faithful and
Virtuous Night" is no exception.
You enter the world of this spellbinding book through one of its
many dreamlike portals, and each time you enter it's the same place
but it has been arranged differently. You were a woman. You were a
man. This is a story of adventure, an encounter with the unknown, a
knight's undaunted journey into the kingdom of death; this is a
story of the world you've always known, that first primer where "on
page three a dog appeared, on page five a ball" and every familiar
facet has been made to shimmer like the contours of a dream, "the
dog float ing] into the sky to join the ball." "Faithful and
Virtuous Night "tells a single story but the parts are mutable, the
great sweep of its narrative mysterious and fateful, heartbreaking
and charged with wonder.
