American poet Louise Gluck, winner of the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes for her distinctively austere writing, has died, a Yale University spokeswoman told AFP on Friday.
She died of cancer, The New York Times reported, citing friend and former Yale colleague Richard Deming, on Friday at her home in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Like theirs, the austerity of her poetry was a source of strength:"The unsaid, for me, exerts great power," she wrote in a collection of essays on poetry,"Proofs and Theories."
