Literature teachers, literature lovers, in preparation for A/AS 2024/2025
In this meeting we will try to trace the issues, themes and style of the American poet who won the Nobel prize for her "for her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal." We will also explore the ways in which we can guide our students in the analysis of her poetry with the exams in mind.
Themes in Glück: disappointment, pain, the contemporary world, the feminine in Glück, intimacy and the complex nature of family relationships.
Workshop
