Unit 4　Exploring poetry Ⅰ.阅读理解 Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long poetry career since her first publication in 1968. In 1993, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, The Wild Iris(《野鸢尾》)．And on October 8, 2020, she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901. Gluck was honored for “her unmistakable poetic voice that, with simple and plain beauty, makes individual existence universal”. Often said to be an autobiographical poet, drawing from the inner parts of her life, “ she is not to be regarded as a confessional (自白的)poet. Gluck seeks the universal，” Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement. Gluck, 77, the author of 12 poetry collections, has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life, loss, and loneliness. Because of this, readers have often found her poetry to be “dark”. However, there is much more than darkness in her voice, as noted by Olsson. “It is frank and also a voice full of humor and biting wit，” he said. For example, in her poem Snowdrops, she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death. She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end. At the conclusion of the poem, readers are left to feel “the raw wind of the new world” as they watch a new spring. This is often the case in Gluck's poetry, being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time. Although she's ready a wellknown writer, Gluck did feel honored to be given the famous Nobel award. However, when asked what the prize meant to her, the lyric poet replied, “It's too new. I don't know really what it means. ” Her only hope is that she can preserve her daily life. 1．What can we know about Louise Gluck? A．Her first book was published in 1993.
