Title: Vita Nova
Author: Louise Gluck
ISBN: 9780880016346
Publisher: Ecco
Published: 1999
Binding: Hardcover
Language: English
Publisher Description:
Since Ararat in 1990 Louise Gluck has been exploring a form that is, her invention. "Vita Nova" --like its immediate predecessors, a booklength sequence--combines the ecstatic utterance of "The Wild Iris" with the worldly dramas elaborated in "Meadowlands." "Vita Nova" is a book that exists in the long moment of spring: a book of deaths and beginnings, resignation and hope; brutal, luminous, and farseeing. Like late Yeats, "Vita Nova" dares large statement. By turns stern interlocutor and ardent novitiate, Gluck compasses the essential human paradox. In "Vita Nova," Louise Gluck manages the apparently impossible: a terrifying act of perspective that brings into resolution the smallest human hope and the vast forces that shape and thwart it.
