A New to Me Author
A new to me author
“From the beginning of time, in childhood, I thought that pain meant I was not loved. It meant I loved.”
I just discovered Louise Glück, and it is like a flash of light, illuminating a window, that I always knew was there, somewhere, but couldn’t beat a path to, couldn’t fully articulate, couldn’t identify.
But here now is Louise, an author new to me.
I had never heard of her before yesterday, never a word, never a single sentence or work, but now it is as though I have found a wise aunt that I didn’t know existed and she can help me trace the past and find my way to the present, perhaps even encourage a future.
“…whatever/ returns from oblivion/ returns to find a voice.”
― Louise Glück, The Wild Iris
