Long Islander wins Nobel Prize

This photo taken at sunrise from Surf City on Long Beach Island in New Jersey shows the sun shrouded in smoke and brown haze Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2020. The smoke from dozens of wildfires in the western United States is stretching clear across the country — and even pushing into Mexico, Canada and Europe. While the dangerous plumes are forcing people inside along the West Coast, residents thousands of miles away in the East are seeing unusually hazy skies and remarkable sunsets.

The Nobel Prize for literature was awarded to American poet Louise Glück She is a Long Island native from Hewlett.

The New York-born Glück, 77, is a professor of English at Yale University, and made her debut in poetry in 1968
