She and her husband, Paul Mueller (d. 2001) built a home in Lake Forest, Illinois in the 1960s, where they raised two daughters and lived for many years. Mueller currently resides in a retirement community in Chicago. Her poems are extremely accessible, yet intricate and layered. While at times whimsical and possessing a sly humor, there is an underlying sadness in much of her work.〔(Lisel Mueller ) at Western Illinois University Web site, accessed October 29, 2006〕〔(Curriculum Vitae by Lisel Mueller 1992 ) at Academy of American Poets Web site, accessed October 29, 2006〕 She graduated from the University of Evansville in 1944 and has taught at the University of Chicago, Elmhurst College in Illinois, and Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont.〔 Mueller has written book reviews for the ''Chicago Daily News''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lisel Mueller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
