# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Louise Glück grew up on Long Island and battled anorexia in high school, an early encounter with the body's refusal that would shadow her work. She studied at Sarah Lawrence and Columbia without finishing a degree, then built a career teaching poetry while writing collections that pulled Greek myth and natural imagery into the service of raw, contemporary feeling. Her poems became known for their emotional intensity and frank sadness, turning personal trauma into something larger—scholars noted how she built personas from autobiography and classical story alike. The accolades followed: Pulitzer, National Book Award, Poet Laureate from 2003 to 2004. In 2020, she won the Nobel Prize in Literature. She taught at Yale and Stanford and moved between Cambridge, Vermont, and California until her death in October 2023.
