The drama in Stockholm traditionally pays tribute to this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature with an event featuring conversations, readings and music, but due to the pandemic, this year’s Nobel reading took place without an audience present.
Winner Louise Glück also participated in the evening with a prerecorded reading of the poem “Red Poppy” from the 1992 “Wild Iris” collection, for which she received the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for poetry.
Glück describes in the film how there are three speakers in the poem: flowers, a human voice and a divine voice, which is based on his mother.
“That voice is always disappointed and thinks a lot of effort has gone into poor creation,” he said.
Louise Glück’s Swedish editor, Per Bergström at Rámus publishing house, described the encounter with her work and language during the night:
– What we cling to is frankness: some poems are like an ear file. They are poems that deal with life’s dilemmas, such as growth, love, and inevitable death.
This year’s Nobel Prize in Literature is Louise Glück, who was born in 1943 in New York. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts and works as a poetry professor at Yale University.
He made his debut in 1968 with the collection of poems “Primogénito”.
Louise Glück’s Nobel Lecture will be published as text on December 7 at 5pm, in English and Swedish, on the Swedish Academy website as she is unable to attend due to the corona pandemic.
