    Louise Glück, an American poet, recently won the Nobel Prize for her lyrical work. Glück was born in 1943 in New York and received great academic education at Williams College and Yale. Her poetry often explores themes of the environment, love, death, family, and loneliness. While her win was exciting, it also received some criticism that the Nobel Prize tends to favor Nordic and European authors over others from outside the region. However, the most important thing is that the Nobel Prize recognizes literary excellence alone.

    Mediation: A Nobel Prize for a Poet

    The article “A Nobel Prize for a Poet” was written by Björn Hayer and is about an
    American Poet, Louise Glück, that recently received a Nobel Prize for her work and
    some of the criticism that was shown towards the Swedish committee.

    Louise Glück was born in 1943 in New York and worked in 1984 at Williams College
    and later in Yale. That she experienced great academic education is noticeable in her
    texts. Her main topic in her work has mostly been about the climate- environmental
    crisis that makes her work particularly current to the events that are happening in the
    world, but she also branched out to other more personal topics like love, death,
    family and loneliness. She is one of the outstanding poets that writes about
    anthropology because she can find the connection between humans and nature like
    no other. Louise’s genre is late modernism, that is often marginalized and looked
    over.

    And now in 2020 she won the Nobel Prize for her lyrical work even though everyone
    expected that the Canadian poet Ann Carson would win. Her win was just as
    unexpected as the win by Tomas Tranströmers in 2011.

    Although her win was exciting it also received some criticism because it seemed that
    only Nordic and European authors win the Nobel prize and that “foreign” Authors
    were only nominated for a political signal so that it seems that they´re diverse.

    But in the end the important message of the Nobel prize is that only the literature
    matters there.
