Join us on December 20th for a conversation of the work of Nobel Prize winning American Jewish poet, Louise Glück. Before this latest achievement, Glück won a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award and served as U.S. Poet Laureate. Our discussion of Jewish themes and reference points in Glück’s poetry will be led by Professor Jennifer Lewin, formerly o fUK and now Haifa University. Professor Lewin was our summer scholar-in-residence a few years ago and has read and taught Glück’s work in avariety of settings. “The Jacob’s Ladder”, “Mount Ararat”,and “The Garden” are among Glück’s poems that Lewin describes as grounded in “family relationships and emotional structures that Judaism explores and values.” You won’t want to miss this wonderful opportunity to learn more about a fascinating artist from a gifted scholar and poet in her own right.
