In \u003ci\u003eFirstborn, The House on Marshland, Descending Figure, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Triumph of Achilles, \u003c\/i\u003e which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry, we see the conscious progression of a poet who speaks with blade-like accuracy and stirring depth. The voice that has become Gluck's trademark speaks in these poems of a life lived in unflinching awareness. Always she is moving in and around the achingly real, writing poems adamant in their accuracy and depth. Their progression is proof of her commitment to change; with her first four books of poetry collected in a single volume, Louise Gluck shows herself happily \"used by time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFour Seminal Collections: \u003c\/b\u003e Experience the books that built a legacy: \u003ci\u003eFirstborn\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe House on Marshland\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDescending Figure\u003c\/i\u003e, and the National Book Critics Circle Award-winner, \u003ci\u003eThe Triumph of Achilles\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eClassical \u0026amp; Biblical Themes: \u003c\/b\u003e Witness Gluck's masterful use of classical myths and biblical stories to illuminate the raw, intimate landscapes of contemporary life, love, and loss.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Singular Poetic Voice: \u003c\/b\u003e Discover the fierce, blade-like precision and austere beauty that established Gluck's voice as one of the most original and important in American letters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFor Readers of Literary Poetry: \u003c\/b\u003e An essential collection for admirers of Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning poets, and anyone seeking poetry of unflinching emotional depth and masterful craft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.05 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 11, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52911033483488,"sku":"9780880014779","price":22.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/Oemhm5doZY9780880014779.webp?v=1781297846","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/first-four-books-of-poems-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
