The Academy of American Poets has given its annual Wallace Stevens Award to former Poet Laureate Louise Glück–aka Louise Glueck, for those who can’t abide the umlaut. The prize is worth a whopping $100,000. (The Boston Globe has details.)
Glück is the author of several books of poetry, including Ararat and Vita Nova. You can browse our selection of Louise Glück’s titles here.–David E
Is Stevens’s prize worth a lot because he worked at an Insurance agency rather than trying to land a spot in academia?
