The Poet Louise Glück Talks About Winning the Nobel Prize in Literature - The New York Times

"I'm a very sociable person. The fact that I dislike interviews doesn't mean I'm a recluse," the poet Louise Glück said early on in our interview.

Glück had been put in an uncomfortable spot. On Thursday morning, she won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Journalists were lining the street outside her home in Cambridge, Mass. Her phone hadn't stopped ringing since 7 a.m., an onslaught of attention she described as "nightmarish."
