The Nobel Prize in Literature in 2020 was awarded to American poet Louise Glück on October 8 for her "unmistakable poetic voice that with austere (樸素的) beauty makes individual existence universal," the Nobel Academy said.
Glück,80,is a professor of English at Yale University.She is considered one of the best poets in American contemporary literature.She is the first woman to win the prize since Poland's Wislawa Szymborska in 1996,and the first American woman since Bob Dylan in 2016.
"My first thought was 'I won't have any friends,' because most of my friends are writers.But then I thought, 'No,that won't happen'," Glück jokingly said.She added that the award was "a great honor".
Glück has been publishing poetry since 1962,when she was just 19 years old.Over the years,she has been well-known by a large number of people.Her poetry mainly pays attention to themes of childhood and family life.In 2003,she was named as the Poet Laureate of the United States.
Glück has received several celebrated honors,among them are the Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for her collection.The Wild Iris and the National Book Award in 2014.She was also awarded a National Humanities Medal in 2015 by Barack Obama at the White House.
