“I am not that tree”:

The Crucifix in Glück’s lyric poetry as the Tree of Revelation

With our current individualistic, globalised society as produced by twentieth-century

modernisation, traditional Christian structures based on the fundamental role of the divine on

earth are rapidly disappearing (Droogers 19-26). Consequently, the influence of Christianity

on literature tends to be characterised as one that is merely made up of historical traditions

void of embodied sensational experiences of the divine (Meyer and Stordalen 1). Yet,

twentieth- and twentieth-first-century poets are being inspired by devotional lyric poetry

which meant a new, intimate interaction with the mysteriousness of God by means of

suppressed, private voices (Hopler & Johnson 297-8; 377-8). This religious bond is also seen

in Louise Glück’s lyric poetry, which is criticised and reassessed by her use of religious

discourse and elements of nature (Morris 1-3).

Due to Glück’s past with anorexia nervosa, the topics of suffering have always been

central to her poetry: “she is willing to sacrifice anything with body and physicality for her

art” (Morris 57). The physical body and sacrifice together have religious connotations as well,

meaning the body of Jesus Christ on the wooden Cross. The crucifixion has been visualised in

numerous ways, but for centuries, it has been linked to the history of wood sculpture and to

salvation (Fozi & Lutz 10; Viladesau xi-xii). Recognisably, Glück alludes to the symbol of the

Cross in multiple poems by including imagery of a wooden structure that is the tree: “tree is

torment” (“Elms”). The tree highlights the material of which the Cross is made, namely wood,

which evokes the story of the crucifixion (Kitzinger 393). She then expresses the physical

body abstractly in the form of a personal, earthly voice which interacts with an abstract Christ

symbolised by the tree.

However, Glück’s poetry rarely constitutes of one personal voice. She captures the

plurality of voice in “Parable of the Dove” in simply one line by complicating the subject-
