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, Glück compasses the essential human paradox. In Vita Nova, Louise Glück manages the apparently impossible: a terrifying act of perspective that brings into resolution the smallest human hope and the vast forces that thwart and shape it.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHere, classical myth collides with modern feeling.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n - \u003cb\u003eA Modern Mythology:\u003c\/b\u003e The timeless grief of Orpheus and the defiance of Dido are re-examined through a startlingly contemporary lens.- \u003cb\u003ePoems of Love and Loss:\u003c\/b\u003e A book-length sequence that follows the arc of a relationship’s end and the difficult, luminous spring that follows.- \u003cb\u003eThe Paradox of Hope:\u003c\/b\u003e Glück’s unmistakable voice confronts the essential human paradox—finding a “new life” in the very moments of death and resignation.- \u003cb\u003eAustere Beauty:\u003c\/b\u003e Each poem is a masterclass in precision and form, where ecstatic utterance meets worldly drama in a style that is Glück’s alone.\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53389530431830,"sku":"9780060957957-V","price":5.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780060957957_1_9c5d9dcb-d87f-4e35-a446-ff0c5407b73b.jpg?v=1778106763","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/gluck-louise-vita-nova-9780060957957","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
