This is a picture I took of Louise Glück receiving her Nobel medal in her backyard during Covid. It was such a great moment for lyric poetry--restrained yet emotional--being elevated to the world stage. I took the picture from her back porch.

Whitman is atmospheric. Mark Wunderlich describing him and Dickinson as the "queer grandmother and grandfather of American poetry," even more atmospheric, and also deeply accurate! 💚
