Louise Glück was born in New York City in 1943 and grew up on Long Island. She is the author of numerous books of poetry, including A Village Life, due out in the fall of 2009, Averno (2007), The Seven Ages (Ecco Press, 2001); Vita Nova (1999), winner of Boston Book Review's Bingham Poetry Prize; Meadowlands (1996); The Wild Iris (1992), which received the Pulitzer Prize and the Poetry Society of America's William Carlos Williams Award; Ararat (1990), for which she received the Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry; and The Triumph of Achilles (1985), which received the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Boston Globe Literary Press Award, and the Poetry Society of America's Melville Kane Award. She has also published a collection of essays, Proofs and Theories: Essays on Poetry (1994), which won the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for Nonfiction. Soon she will be bringing out her Collected Poems, and another book of essays. Louise's poems appear widely, in publications such as the New Yorker, Poetry, Threepenny Review, and Slate. Her other honors include the Bollingen Prize in Poetry, the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry, and fellowships from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller foundations, and from the National Endowment for the Arts. Recently she gave the Blashfield Address before the American Academy of Arts and Letters, only the sixth poet in the history of the organization to be granted that honor. In the fall of 2003, Glück assumed her duties as the Library of Congress's twelfth Poet Laureate.
