I posted about Louise Glück winning the Nobel in Art and Lit

[Bouvre]

But this isn't about that.

This is about my friend running into her and Frank Bidart at Whole Foods. 

When he asked what they were up to, Frank almost responded, but Louise interrupted

"Frank takes me out to dinner, then to Whole Foods"

 

There was a pause. My friend said, "well I hear shopping after eating stops people from impulse purchases."

There was another pause.

 

Then Louise said, "I'm cold; let's go!"

 

And that's my esoteric secondhand anecdote about a beloved American poet.
