This year's prestigious Nobel Prize for Literature has been awarded to the inimitable US poet, Louise Glück. Glück has an uncanny knack for winning awards and prizes. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993, and bagged the 2001 Bollingen Prize for Poetry, the Wallace Stevens Award in 2008 and the National Book Award in 2014. In the hands of masters like Glück, life becomes not only the main character of the eternal drama of existence, dejection, resentment and annihilation, but also the stage on which that drama is being played! Glück deals with individual existence in a manner that becomes universal, collective and all-embracing.
