In Vita Nova, Pulitzer-Prize winning poet Louise Gl�ck manages the apparently impossible: a terrifying act of perspective that brings into resolution the smallest human hope and the vast forces that shape and thwart it Since Ararat in 1990, Louise Gl�ck has been exploring a form that is, according to the poet, Robert Hass, her invention. Vita Nova-like its immediate predecessors, a booklength sequence-combines the ecstatic utterance of The Wild Iris with the worldly dramas elaborated in Meadowlands. Vita Nova is a book that exists in the long moment of spring: a book of deaths and beginnings, resignation and hope; brutal, luminous, and far-seeing. Like late Yeats, Vita Nova dares large statement. By turns stern interlocutor and ardent novitiate, Gl�ck compasses the essential human paradox.

This was suggested to me when I asked for books and poetry about breakups that honored the former sweetheart as well as the process of getting over the end of a very good relationship.

This books filled that bill, but not the way I really expected it to. The poems focused on the first person, and the narrator's journey, both inner and outer. This is a book that'll bear re-reading. All the poems spoke to me, but I couldn't always make out the message. (

Read this in one sitting. Is it my favourite Gluck? Maybe. Spring: renewal, death, rebirth. Appropriate to me right now in my life. (

Need to reread this before I make any decisions about how I feel about this. Obviously not as good as The Wild Iris, but still good. (
