Louise Glück's "Collected Poems"- What a Treasure

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KF2SNPC/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 


    Louise Glück truly deserved the Nobel Prize for Literature. I am up to Vita Nova and am increasingly-impressed by each poem. Her take on Greek mythology is superb. I wish I had known about some of these when  I was teaching Mythology a few years ago.
