Can’t say I’ve heard of the new U.S. Poet Laureate, Louise Elisabeth Gluck. But this line in the Washington Post story on her appointment grabbed my attention: “The selection will be officially announced tomorrow by the Librarian of Congress, who said in a statement that Gluck (rhymes with pick)…” Hold on there! “Gluck” rhymes with “pick”? And she’s a poet? Whatever. One more neat-o Gluck fact: Her father invented the X-acto knife. My one hope is that she’s not one of those anti-war poets who caused such a dumb stink earlier this year.
