LOUISE GLUCK wins the Nobel

[Erik T. Burns]

this is the only poem of hers I remember (which is my fault, not hers,
obvs.)

Early December in Croton-on-Hudson
By Louise Glück <https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/louise-gluck>
Spiked sun. The Hudson’s
Whittled down by ice.
I hear the bone dice
Of blown gravel clicking. Bone-
pale, the recent snow
Fastens like fur to the river.
Standstill. We were leaving to deliver
Christmas presents when the tire blew
Last year. Above the dead valves pines pared
Down by a storm stood, limbs bared . . .
I want you.
