That place gives its name to Louise Glück's tenth collection: in a landscape turned irretrievably to winter, it is a gate or passageway that invites traffic between worlds while at the same time resisting their reconciliation. \u003ci\u003eAverno\u003c\/i\u003e is an extended lamentation, its long, restless poems no less spellbinding for being without conventional resoltution or consolation, no less ravishing for being savage, grief-stricken. What \u003ci\u003eAverno\u003c\/i\u003e provides is not a map to a point of arrival or departure, but a diagram of where we are, the harrowing, enduring present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAverno\u003c\/i\u003e is a 2006 National Book Award Finalist for Poetry.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouise Glück\u003c\/b\u003e (1943-2023) was the author of two collections of essays and thirteen books of poems.
