Louise Gluck Poet

After leaving Columbia without a degree, Glück supported herself with secretarial work. She married Charles Hertz, Jr., in 1967. The marriage ended in divorce. In 1968, Glück published her first collection of poems, Firstborn, which received some positive critical attention. However, she then experienced a prolonged case of writer’s block, which was only cured, she has claimed, after 1971, when she began to teach poetry at Goddard College in Vermont.

The poems she wrote during this time were collected in her second book, The House on Marshland (1975), which many critics have regarded as her breakthrough work, signaling her “discovery of a distinctive voice”.

In 1973, Glück gave birth to a son, Noah, with her partner, John Dranow, an author who had started the summer writing program at Goddard College. In 1977, she and Dranow were married. In 1980, Dranow and Francis Voigt, the husband of poet Ellen Bryant Voigt, co-founded the New England Culinary Institute as a private, for-profit college.

Glück and Bryant Voigt were early investors in the institute and served on its board of directors. In 1980, Glück’s third collection, Descending Figure, was published. It received some criticism for its tone and subject matter: for example, the poet Greg Kuzma accused Glück of being a “child hater” for her now a widely anthologized poem, “The Drowned Children”.

On the whole, however, the book was well-received. In the same year, a fire destroyed Glück’s house in Vermont, resulting in the loss of all of her possessions.

In the wake of that tragedy, Glück began to write the poems that would later be collected in her award-winning work, The Triumph of Achilles (1985). Writing in The New York Times, the author and critic Liz Rosenberg described the collection as “clearer, purer, and sharper” than Glück’s previous work.

The critic Peter Stitt, writing in The Georgia Review, declared that the book showed Glück to be “among the important poets of our age”. From the collection, the poem “Mock Orange”, which has been likened to a feminist anthem, has been called an “anthology piece” for how frequently it has appeared in poetry anthologies and college courses.
