Congratulations to Louise Glück, winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature. Glück, in addition to her role as an adjunct professor of English at @yale, is also a visiting professor in Stanford's Creative Writing program and has taught "The Occasions of Poetry" class at Stanford for several years. This winter, she'll be teaching the Stegner Poetry Workshop. "Her care in teaching her craft is legendary," says Blakey Vermeule, chair of Stanford's English Department.
