snowbenton 's review for:

Faithful and Virtuous Night by Louise Glück
4.0

Like the cover itself, which, when splayed open on the floor reveals a highway that at first appears to be a circle but resolves into a normal highway in a round, Gluck's book spins in strange circles across strange lands. It is a story of a woman, a man, a poet of both or neither gender, traveling and writing and missing dead parents. It's strange and somehow light, all at the same time.
