Poetry: Sharon Olds
10/29/2015---Sharon Olds’s intensely immediate, emotionally keen work, which graphically depicts family life as well as global political events, has made her one of contemporary poetry’s leading voices and has led to prestigious awards, including a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Critics Circle Award. The poet Billy Collins identifies her as “a poet of sex and the psyche” and adds, “Sharon Olds is infamous for her subject matter alone…but her closer readers know her as a poet of constant linguistic surprise.”

Amazing, to me, no one has yet commented on this magnificent presentation of such perfect poetic expressions. Everything which is Olds', feels new born. Though steeped in the deepest possible emotional experience of life, Sharon is perfectly innocent in the very ground of her seemingly visible being, and in her infinitely humble offering of herself to us. What a nurturing gift!!!
Dear Hammer Museum: please edit your video and repost! Olds deserves not to have the presenter explode into existence (like some herpes lesion?) at 20:27 to repeat a portion of his introduction.
