Louise Elisabeth Glück was born on April 22, 1943 in New York, United States, into a family of Hungarian Jewish descent. From an early age, she showed an inclination for literature and poetry, influenced by reading and the intellectual environment of her home. Her youth was marked by the struggle against anorexia, an experience she would later address in her work with honesty and depth.

She studied at Sarah Lawrence College and Columbia University, although she did not complete a formal degree due to her illness. Despite these facts, she began a literary career that would make her one of the most influential voices in contemporary American poetry.

Her poetry is characterized by precise and sober language, exploring themes such as loss, family, memory, or desire. She was also a distinguished professor, teaching at universities like Yale or Stanford, mentoring new generations of poets.

Among her most important works are "Firstborn", "The Wild Iris", "Vita Nova", or "Faithful and Virtuous Night". She has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1993, National Book Award in 2014, or the Bollingen Prize in 2001.
