AP: “The Nobel Prize for literature was awarded to American poet Louise Glück on Thursday ‘for her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal.’ The prize was announced in Stockholm by Mats Malm, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy. New York-born Glück, 77, who is a professor of English at Yale University, made her debut in 1968 with ‘Firstborn,’ and ‘was soon acclaimed as one of the most prominent poets in American contemporary literature,’ the Nobel Academy said.”
