An Excerpt from our Art of Poetry Interview with Louise Gluck - The Paris Review
In early March of 2021, Louise Glück visited Claremont McKenna College in Southern California, where I teach. Because of COVID, she was afraid to fly on a small plane to our regional airport, so I drove her myself from Berkeley, where, for some years, she rented a house during the winters. She packed pumpernickel bagels, apples, and cheese for our six-hour road trip, and she brought CDs of Giuseppe Verdi's opera Rigoletto, Bertolt Brecht's The Threepenny Opera, and the songs of Jacques Brel, a Belgian master of the modern chanson.
Some months earlier, Glück had won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
