Poet-Laureate of the United States (2003-2004), winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature, Louise Glück died recently. (10/13/23) (A biographical sketch and many of Glück's poems are available here at poets.org.) The quotation below -- sharing her desire "to make something never heard before" -- links closely to the desires of those of us in mathematics, to create the new.
A quote given with Gluck's obituary in The Washington Post |
This 2020 blog posting features Gluck's "Parable of the Swans" and here, at poetryfoundation.org, is "A Fable" -- a poem about two women and one baby.
