Description
xFrom the Pulitzer Prize and T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry winner--a stunning collection of poems about history, childhood, nurturing a new generation of children, and the transformative power of marital love.
With poems that project a fresh spirit, a startling energy of language and counterpoint, and a moving, elegiac tone shot through with humor, Sharon Olds takes risks, writing boldly of physical, emotional, and spiritual sensations that are seldom the stuff of poetry. These are poems that strike for the heart, as Olds captures our imagination with unexpected wordplay, sprung rhythms, and the disquieting revelations of ordinary life. Writing at the peak of her powers, this greatly admired poet gives us her finest collection.
