Louise Glück says of writing, "[It] is not decanting of personality. The truth, on the page, need not have been lived. It is, instead, all that can be envisioned."
Glück was appointed the United States Poet Laureate in 2003. She is the author of numerous books of poetry including The Seven Ages, and The Wild Iris, for which she received the Pulitzer Prize. Her most recent publication is a chapbook called October, identifying with the season of autumn, the dark of it and the beauty of it.
James Longenbach is the author of several works of literary scholarship, including Modernist Poetics of History; Stone Cottage: Pound, Yeats and Modernism; and Wallace Stevens: The Plain Sense of Things. He is also the author of Threshold, a collection of poetry. Longenbach is a professor of English at Rochester University.
