Wonderful. Glück means so much to me, too. Her collected poems got me through the aching grief in early 2020 after my father had died (I plan to post on that one day). As for early influences, Dylan Thomas, that Welsh poetic narcotic, had a major impact on me as a teenager. I still read his poems with joy. Thank you for helping me to reflect on this!

I need to read more Dylan Thomas! It's remarkable to me (but not surprising) how many people Glück touched with her poetry.

Thank you for this. I always look forward to your posts. A balm for my soul, and this poem is wonderful. I am also moved deeply by Andrea Gibson and oh so many others. They do reach through the page.
