“Island”-Louise Gluck

“Islands”
—————
“The curtains parted. Light
coming in. Moonlight, then sunlight.
Not changing because time was passing
but because the one moment had many aspects.

White lisanthus in a chipped vase.
Sound of the wind. Sound
of lapping water. And hours passed, the white sails
luminous, the boat rocking at anchor.

Motion not yet channeled in time.
The curtains shifting or stirring; the moment
shimmering, a hand moving
backward, then forward. Silence. And then

one word, a name. And then another word:
again, again. And time
salvaged, like a pulse between
stillness and change. Late afternoon. The soon to be lost

becoming memory; the mind closing around it. The room
claimed again, as a possession. Sunlight,
then moonlight. The eyes glazed over with tears.
And then the moon fading, the white sails flexing.

-Louise Gluck

Louise Glűck's poems are under copyright. Don't reproduce them here. Also, since you have nothing to say about the poem, that's another reason why you shouldn't post it. We can all look up random poems.

By the way, there has been a long standing debate about posting poetry of others here.

PJR has argued it is fair use if the poem is posted for comment and discussion, as Jordy has clearly done here.

Sylvia Plath Follow Born in 1932 to middle class parents in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, Sylvia Plath published her first poem at the age of eight.

Sylvia Plath’s “Insomniac” – asia lenae
asialenae.com/2016/04/28/poetry-analysis-sylvia...
Plath captures this idea perfectly when she calls the insomniac’s head a “little interior of grey mirrors” (Plath 22). Recalling the earlier image of the sky as blue-black carbon paper, this portrait of the mind as a “mirror” reveals thought is an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to recreate the world.

Louise Glűck's poems are less than 50 years old, so they are still protected by international copyright.

Sylvia Plath's are not.

Pick's plagiarized poems, which you defended, were examples of blatant literary theft.

Agreed, I was turned on to the poetry of Louise Gluck quite a few years ago, by Karla Rogers, of all people.

Hello. the group is very quiet today; this post is still in the top 3.

I appreciated reading "Islands". I'm not sure if I've read it before.
It reminded me very much of Wallace Stevens. Deliberately, I think, because of the line

White lisanthus in a chipped vase.
Sound of the wind. Sound

Which reminded me so much of the opening lines from "The Poems of Our Climate":

Clear water in a brilliant bowl,
Pink and white carnations. The light
