Louise Glück was born on April 22, 1943 in New York City to parents of Russian and Hungarian Jewish descent. Glück was taught Greek mythology and classic stories from a young age which greatly influenced her works. Glück began writing poetry in highschool, eventually taking some poetry classes and attending workshops where she more deeply developed her craft. After a prolonged bout of writer's block, Glück would write "The House on Marshland" in 1971 during her tenure teaching poetry at Goddard College. "The House on Marshland" was received well, but has gained greater recognition following Glück's passing in 2023, many regarding it as one of her more powerful works on nature.
