Nobel Prize in Literature, Louise GlückAbstract
The Nobel Prize in Literature in 2020 was awarded to the American poet Louise Glück “for her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal.” According to the Nobel Committee, Louise Glück's work is characterized by a striving for clarity, and “childhood and family life, the close relationship with parents and siblings, is a thematic that has remained central with her.”
