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 far-seeing.\nLike late Yeats, Vita Nova dares large statement. By turns stern interlocutor and ardent novitiate, Glück compasses the essential human paradox. In Vita Nova, Louise Glück manages the apparently impossible: a terrifying act of perspective that brings into resolution the smallest human hope and the vast forces that thwart and shape it.\n\nHere, classical myth collides with modern feeling.\n\nA Modern Mythology: The timeless grief of Orpheus and the defiance of Dido are re-examined through a startlingly contemporary lens. Poems of Love and Loss: A book-length sequence that follows the arc of a relationship’s end and the difficult, luminous spring that follows. The Paradox of Hope: Glück’s unmistakable voice confronts the essential human paradox—finding a “new life” in the very moments of death and resignation. Austere Beauty: Each poem is a masterclass in precision and form, where ecstatic utterance meets worldly drama in a style that is Glück’s alone.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0060957956\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0060957956.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gluck, Louise\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43278573305917,"sku":"BVV.0060957956.VG","price":7.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0060957956-0.jpg?v=1781646912","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/vita-nova-winner-of-the-nobel-prize","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
