I thought they write them in advance?

(IIRC this was an issue once, someone hacked the DB and released some early?)

They write them in advance for prominent figures, but Glück remained fairly little known even after her Nobel win.

Can anyone suggest a poem or three to read by them?

Glück was my favorite poet. One of my favorites by her is called Gretel in Darkness: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KIFfxBz0ROtrWbVxWPIeSKi9...
