Sobre este artículo
New York: The Ecco Press, 1985. First edition of the Nobel Prize-winning author's classic work, her most anthologized. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author, "For Meryl with good wishes Louise Gluck." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Writing in The New York Times, the author and critic Liz Rosenberg described the collection as "clearer, purer, and sharper" than Gluck's previous work. The critic Peter Stitt, writing in The Georgia Review, declared that the book showed Gluck to be "among the important poets of our age". From the collection, the poem "Mock Orange", which has been likened to a feminist anthem, has been called an "anthology piece" for how frequently it has appeared in poetry anthologies and college courses. Wendy Lesser described its "language" as "staunchly straightforward." It won the National Book Critics Circle Award for poetry.
