Louise Gluck is the author of Firstborn, 1968; Proofs and Theories (Collected Essays), 1994; The First Four Books, 1995; Meadowlands, 1996; Vita Nova, 1999; The Seven Ages, 2001; October, 2003; Averno, 2006; A Village Life, 2009; Poems, 1962-2012, 2012. Each of her books departs from the theme of its predecessors like a novel with lacunae opening onto the unspeakable. Myths of antiquity - the characters of Persphone, Achilles, Eurydice, Iphigenia, appear throughout the series, often used as a vehicle for psychological analysis. Many of her books contain dark poems of family relationships. The last volume, A Village Life, reinforces the themes that delineate the difficulties of interpersonal relationships. To read her books is to understanding the governing paradox of a life lived in the body and of the work wrested from it, the one fated to die and the other to endure.
She is the recipient of a National Book Critics Circle Award, 1985; Guggenheim Fellowship, 1975, 1987; Pulitzer Prize, 1993; the PEN Martha Albrand Award, 1994, the Gold Medal for Poetry from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, 2015; and the National Humanities Medal, 2016. She served as Poet Laureate of the United States in 2003.
Louise Gluck was Senior lecturer in English, 1984-98, and Preston S. Parish ‘41 Third Century Lecturer in English, 1998-2004, at Williams College, and was Regents Professor, 1985-87, at the University of California, Los Angeles. Since 2004 she has been the Rosenkranz Writer in Residence and Adjunct Professor of English at Yale University.
Louise Gluck won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2020. She was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2014. | |

Among her wards are: Best Chef in America, James Beard Foundation, 1992; Best Restaurant in America, Gourmet magazine, 2001; Force for Nature Award, Natural Resources Defense Council, 2004; Lifetime Achievement Award, Restaurant magazine’s World’s 50 Best Restaurants, 2007; co-recipient, with Kofi Annan, Global Environmental Citizen Award, 2008; and National Humanities Medal, 2014.

She was elected a member of American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2007.
Alice Waters has been one of the world’s premier advocates for healthy, homegrown, and exceptional food. If there are now scores of books and articles written about food and health, Waters has been one of the world’s leaders in the movement toward Americans and others eating more healthy food – and having them do it as part of a family experience. Indeed, she has been “credited with revolutionizing American cooking in the 1970s and 1980s,” according to The New York Times. She is the executive chef, founder (in 1971), and owner of the, now legendary, Chez Panisse Restaurant and Café in Berkeley. She is one of the leaders of the slow food movement. She started projects at Yale University on sustainable foods; she extended the program to the American Academy in Rome. She works in the California school system to enhance awareness among our youth of the value of eating better food. For her work on multiple fronts, she has won a host of awards, including the Global Environmental Citizen Award in 2008 (which she shared with then U.N. Secretary General, Kofi Annan). There have been few people in the past several decades who match Alice Water’s positive influence on the eating habits of Americans. | |
