Shelved in Case 0. Louise Glück was born on April 22, 1943 in New York City to parents of Russian and Hungarian Jewish descent. Glück was taught Greek mythology and classic stories from a young age which greatly influenced her works. Glück began writing poetry in highschool, eventually taking some poetry classes and attending workshops where she more deeply developed her craft. After a mixed career of teaching and writing poetry, Glück would produce her third collection of poems; "Descending Figure" in 1980. "Descending Figure" was released to generally positive reviews, though some criticized Glück as hating children for her poem "The Drowned Children", most regarded the collection as a overall improvement in Glück's work. 1389637.
