Book Synopsis

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

Winner of the 2014 National Book Award for Poetry

A luminous, seductive new collection from the fearless (The New York Times) Pulitzer Prizewinning poet

Louise Glück is one of the finest American poets at work today. Her Poems 19622012 was hailed as a major event in this country''s literature in the pages of The New York Times. Every new collection is at once a deepening and a revelation. Faithful and Virtuous Night is no exception.

You enter the world of this spellbinding book through one of its many dreamlike portals, and each time you enter it''s the same place but it has been arranged differently. You were a woman. You were a man. This is a story of adventure, an encounter with the unknown, a knight''s undaunted journey into the kingdom of death; this is a story of the world you''ve always known, that first primer where on page three a dog appeared, on page five a ball
