Probably the way I found this book was more interesting to me than the book

Marigold and Rose by Louise Gluck

March 6, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Honestly, I am not really sure what I read.  Marigold and Rose by Louise Gluck is not in my usual wheelhouse. First it is an adult book, not a kids book and second, it is a mixture of unusual prose poetry and a regular novel. Go ahead and call me unsophisticated if you wish. I’m good with that. Not every book is meant for everyone and not everyone is meant for every book. I would say that the book has two main layers to it. […]

Marigold and Rose: A Fiction by Louise Glück

January 1, 2023 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

“Marigold was absorbed in her book; she had gotten as far as the V.” Much like Mr Ramsay in To the Lighthouse Marigold has made far into her book. Unlike Mr Ramsay, Marigold can’t actually read.

Louise Glück’s poems tend to intimate and intense affairs, and I […]
