"<p> WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE <br /> <br /> Winner of the 2014 National Book Award for Poetry<br /> <br /> A luminous, seductive new collection from the &#34;fearless&#34; ( The New York Times ) Louise Glück, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature <br /> <br /> Louise Glück is one of the finest American poets at work today. Her Poems 1962-2012 was hailed as &#34;a major event in this country&#39;s literature&#34; in the pages of The New York Times . Every new collection is at once a deepening and a revelation. Faithful and Virtuous Night is no exception.<br /> <br /> You enter the world of this spellbinding book through one of its many dreamlike portals, and each time you enter it&#39;s the same place but it has been arranged differently. You were a woman. You were a man. This is a story of adventure, an encounter with the unknown, a knight&#39;s undaunted journey into the kingdom of death; this is a story of the world you&#39;ve always known, that first primer where &#34;on page three a dog appeared, on page five a ball&#34; and every familiar facet has been made to shimmer like the contours of a dream, &#34;the dog float[ing] into the sky to join the ball.&#34; Faithful and Virtuous Night tells a single story but the parts are mutable, the great sweep of its narrative mysterious and fateful, heartbreaking and charged with wonder.</p>"
