A VILLAGE LIFE - LOUISE GLÜCK KARTONIERT (TB)

A Village Life  Louise Gluck'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.
Gluck 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
Gluck'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.
