Glück's early poems are characterized by "imperial tone, and plain, relentless language. Glück issues forth her truth-statements with prosecutorial logic." The Reader feels the "thrill of absolutism."
Hoagland quotes "Moonless Night:"
Such a mistake to want
clarity above all things.
In later work (
Ararat) Glück explores the "paradox of certainty achieved at the cost of estrangement."
