Listen to Louise Glück’s September 9, 2004 reading for the Poetry Center of Chicago’s Reading Series:
Louise Glück begins at 10:49 minutes.
The grass below the willow
Of my daughter’s wash is curled
With earthworms, and the world
Is measured into row on row
Of unspiced houses, painted to seem real.
