Poet in motion: Gluck Yale-bound

U.S. poet laureate Louise Gluck has decided to leave Williams College in Massachusetts for a writer-in-residence position at Yale University. Gluck will teach two poetry writing courses at Yale this fall. Her appointment is for a five-year, renewable term, according to Yale spokeswoman Dorie Baker.

Gluck, 60, of Cambridge, has taught at Williams since 1983, usually only during the fall semester.

She has published nine books of poetry and won a Pulitzer Prize in 1993 and a Bollingen Prize in 2001. She was named poet laureate in August.
