Wild Iris. Avern. Night, all-encompassing night

Under one cover, three cycles of poems by Nobel laureate Louise Glück - 'Wild Iris', 'Avern', and 'Night, all-encompassing night'.

The Nobel Prize was awarded to Glück 'for her unmistakable poetic voice, the ascetic beauty of which transforms personal experience into the universal'.

The poet's voice speaks to us with deceptive simplicity, telling stories that we want to return to. Her dark intellect and savage wit leave no one indifferent. Connected by universal themes, the poems help us explore and ultimately embrace the challenges of life.

'Louise Glück's works excite and astonish, they are both intimate and grandiose, she speaks to people who read only poetry and to people who hardly read poetry at all.' - Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker

The preface to the book was written by Dmitry Kuzmin.
