    <body><![CDATA[This book helped me realize how much I need poetry in my life.  Louise Gluck had a beautiful way of rediscovering well known myths, particular the myth of Persephone - she brought new life to it by unraveling the challenges that live unnoticed inside our commonly accepted interpretations.  Averno is a physical place in Italy - a small crater lake that Romans viewed as the entrance to the underworld.  Gluck straddles the two worlds in these poems; she gives the reader entrance to straddle them with her.]]></body>
