Ararat (signed)
New York; (1990): The Ecco Press. First Edition. Octavo. Item #023991
First printing. 68 pp. signed by the author. Ararat is one of Louise Glück’s most powerful and personal collections. Written in the wake of her father’s death, the poems move with stark clarity through themes of grief, family memory, and survival. Glück sets aside mythic masks to write in a voice at once intimate and unflinching, transforming private loss into a work of universal resonance. Spare, piercing, and unforgettable, Ararat remains a cornerstone in the career of a poet later awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. A fine bright copy bound in 1/4 black cloth over gray paper covered boards,spine lettring a light foil blue, in a fine unclipped dust jacket.
