Louise Glück is revered for her linguistic precision and for how she engages with exquisite sensitivity in timeless topics such as isolation, relationships and the confrontation with death. Many readers find that her poetry is easy to read but holds great depth as well. (Resource: https://www.nobelprize.org)
