WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE A Village Life Louise Glück's eleventh collection of poems begins in the topography of a village a Mediterranean world of no definite moment or place: All the roads in the village unite at the fountain. Avenue of Liberty Avenue of the Acacia Trees- The fountain rises at the center of the plaza on sunny days rainbows in the piss of the cherub. -from "tributaries" Around the fountain are concentric circles of figures organized by age and in degrees of distance: fields a river and like the fountain's opposite a mountain. Human time superimposed on geologic time all taken in at a glance without any undue sensation of speed. Glück has been known as a lyrical and dramatic poet since Ararat she has shaped her austere intensities into book-length sequences. Here for the first time she speaks as "the type of describing supervising intelligence found in novels rather than poetry " as Langdon Hammer has written of her long lines-expansive fluent and full-manifesting a calm omniscience. While Glück's manner is novelistic she focuses not on action but on pauses and intervals moments of suspension (rather than suspense) in a dreamlike present tense in which poetic speculation and reflection are possible.
