Louise Gluck, an American poet and a professor of English at Yale University, won this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature.

Gluck, who was born in 1943, was awarded the prize for “her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal,” the Swedish Academy in Stockholm said in a statement on Thursday.
