Louise Gl\u00fcck’s tenth collection of poems, \u2018Averno\u2019, was published in 2006. The record that she has donated to the museum is Mahler’s \u2018Das Lied von der Erde\u2019 (The Song of the Earth), featuring contralto Kathleen Ferrier and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra conducted by Bruno Walter. In her cover letter to the museum, Louise Gl\u00fcck writes:<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the four years in which AVERNO was written, this is what I listened to. A few readers who knew nothing of my writerly habits heard Mahler, especially in ‘October’ \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Music is a source of inspiration for many Nobel Prize laureates. Albert Einstein often described how important his own music-making was to him. Boris Pasternak and Elfriede Jelinek both studied music, and poets such as Wis\u0142awa Szymborska and Tomas Transtr\u00f6mer returned to music in their poems. Texts have also turned into music. Harry Martinson’s epic science fiction poem \u2018Aniara\u2019 became an opera, with music by Karl-Birger Blomdahl, and Kazuo Ishiguro has written lyrics for jazz singer Stacey Kent. And of course there is Bob Dylan, whose poetry and music merge completely.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In her letter to the museum, Louise Gl\u00fcck also describes the relationship between music and her writing:<\/p>\n

\u201c… \u00a0the writing of a book has been preceded (often by several years) by obsessive listening to a particular piece of music. I say the writing of a book as though that were a matter of steady application toward a calculated end. But in my experience, writing is erratic, a kind of possessed fluency alternating with a steady silence. Only the music is both inspired and steady; it seems to me my poems emerge from it.\u201d<\/p>\n

When laureates visit the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm\u2019s Old Town, they are always asked to bring an artefact that has meant something special to them. It may be an artefact that tells about who they are, or that has a connection to the achievements for which they have been rewarded. Louise Gl\u00fcck was unable to attend the 2022 Nobel Week in Stockholm, which is why she posted an artefact to the museum instead.<\/p>\n

The museum’s collection already includes such artefacts as a handwritten manuscript from Albert Einstein and the shawl that Malala Yousafzai wore when she gave a speech to the UN General Assembly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSnow had fallen. I remember<\/p>\n

music from an open window.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Come to me<\/em>, said the world.<\/p>\n

This is not to say<\/p>\n

it spoke in exact sentences<\/p>\n

but that I perceived beauty in this manner.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Part of the poem \u2018October\u2019, from the collection \u2018Averno\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Nobel Prize shows that ideas can change the world. The courage, creativity and perseverance of the Nobel Prize laureates inspire us and give us hope for the future. Films, in-depth tours, and artefacts tell the stories of the laureates and their contributions \u201cfor the greatest benefit to humankind\u201d. Based on the Nobel Prize\u2019s unique combination of fields \u2013 natural sciences, literature and peace \u2013 we examine the greatest challenges of our time and show how we can respond to them through science, humanism and collaboration. With our exhibitions, school programmes, lectures and conversations, we at the Nobel Prize Museum strive to engage the public in making a better world. Today we are located on Stortorget, the main square in Gamla Stan, Stockholm\u2019s Old Town district. We are planning to create a new home for our public outreach activities at Slussen in central Stockholm.<\/p>\n
