Averno: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Louise Glück
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 aug 2021
'Brilliant poems of complex, haunting power...Avernomay be Glück's masterpiece'The New York Times Book Review

An acclaimed collection from the Nobel prize-winning poet

This startlingly original reworking of the Persephone myth takes us to the icy shores of Averno, the crater lake regarded by the ancient Romans as the entrance to the underworld. Here, the consolations of rebirth and renewal are eclipsed by the immediacy of loss - by a mother's possessive grief, an abducted girl's equivocal memories, a farmer's lament for a lost harvest. This chorus offers neither comfort nor solace but deepened understanding, its sorrow textured by the poet's luminous wit. Together, the poems ofAvernoswell to a staggeringly powerful lamentation, through which the reader glimpses the ecstasy of the inevitable, only to find it resisted by the insistent, impersonal presence of the Earth.

Recenzii

Brilliant [poems of] complex, haunting power...Avernomay be Glück's masterpiece. Certainly it demonstrates that she is writing at the peak of her powers.
Few poets can shoulder the weight of the myth the way Glück does...The poems brilliantly display a poet's insight, a mother's warmth, and a mortal's empath. There is wry humour, too, and, amid much that is dark, there are fragments of hope.
[An] intense and ambitious collection.
An important collection...Avernohas the feeling of an urgent inner dialogue between the believer and the skeptic.
An ageing soul's lyrical book of days ... The title poem will break your heart every time you read it but also affirm you in the toughest moments ... When Glück takes a broader look, the scope can be truly epical; when she looks inward you can sometimes hear your own voice. And her tenderness is breathtaking.
