This volume brings together the twelve collections Glck has published to date  offering readers the opportunity to become immersed in the artistry and vision of one of the worlds greatest living poets.  From the allegories of The Wild Iris to the myth-making of Averno; the oneiric landscapes of The House on Marshland to the questing of Faithful and Virtuous Night - each of Glcks collections looks upon the events of an ordinary life and finds within them scope for the transcendent; each wields its archetypes to puncture the illusions of the self. Across her work  elements are reiterated but endlessly transfigured - Persephone  a copper beech  a mother and father and sister  a garden  a husband and son  a horse  a dog  a field on fire  a mountain. Taken together  the effect is like a shifting landscape seen from above  at once familiar and unspeakably profound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789846241333,"sku":"ByrdShop_0241526078","price":1336.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780241526071.jpg?v=1784700394","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/poems-19622020-9780241526071","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
