Poems examine life as a child, a woman, and a mother, death, and our relationship to the world.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
In Satan Says, Sharon Olds convincingly, and with astonishing vigor, presents a world which, if not always hostile, is never clear about which face it will show her.-- "American Book Review"
The poems are constructed with craft and care; the volatility of childhood seemingly is tempered with controlled retrospection and craft. . . . Olds's voice is original. It is even savage at times, but always controlled. Recommended for all colleges and libraries.-- "Choice"
Sharon Olds's poetry has the intensity and power to move the reader, whether her subject be personal family life or political events.-- "American Poetry Review"
This is a powerful and impressive first book.-- "Booklist"
Olds' voice is consistently intense. In one poem after another, the spareness and bluntness of the language emphasize the violent sensuality of the images.-- "Home Planet News"
