Gluck new U.S. poet laureate
American poet and academic Louise Gluck has been chosen as the next U.S. poet laureate. Gluck (1943), who has published nine volumes of poetry and won numerous awards and prizes, including a Pulitzer Prize, will succeed current poet laureate Billy Collins, the Washington Post reports. Gluck told the Post that compared with the wry, witty poetry of Collins, her poems are "probably more brutal, more disturbing, less readily accessible and charming."
