Page: A Week Later Crab Japanese-American Farmhouse, California, 1942 May 1968 ... The Unborn Page: Quotations "... to a poet, the human community is like the community of birds to a bird, singing to each other. Love is one of the reasons we are singing to one another, love of language itself, love of sound, love of singing itself, and love of the other birds." Sharon Olds (b. 1942), U.S. poet. As quoted in Listen to Their Voices, ch. 18 (1993). On why writing poetry, though "always difficult," is easier than not writing it. "The symmetrical piles of white bodies, the round white breast-shapes of the heaps, the smell of the smoke, the dogs the wires the rope the hunger. It had happened to others. There was a word for us. I was: a Jew." Sharon Olds (b. 1942), U.S. Jewish poet. "That Year," lines 24-28 (1980). On seeing, in social studies class, photographs from Auschwitz, a Nazi concentration camp located in Poland, where more than one million Jews were killed during World War II.

Sharon Olds While He Told Me My First Hour That hour, I was most myself. I had shrugged my mother slowly off, I lay there taking my first breaths, as if the air of the room was blowing me like a bubble. All I had to do was go out along the line of my gaze and back, feeling gravity, silk, the pressure of the air a caress, smelling on myself her creamy blood. The air was softly touching my skin and mouth, entering me and drawing forth the little sighs I did not know as mine. I was not afraid. I lay in the quiet and looked, and did the wordless thought, my mind was getting its oxygen direct, the rich mix by mouth. I hated no one. I gazed and gazed, and everything was interesting, I was free, not yet in love, I did not belong to anyone, I had drunk no milk yetno one had my heart. I was not very human. I did not know there was anyone else. I lay like a god, for an hour, then they came for me and took me to my mother.

47. In A Dark Time: Sharon Olds Archives It’s never a good sign when it takes me a long time to read a book of poetry, and I started reading sharon olds’ The Unswept Room just before Christmas http://lorenwebster.net/In_a_Dark_Time/archives/cat_sharon_olds.html

January 07, 2004 Sharon Old's The Unswept Room It’s never a good sign when it takes me a long time to read a book of poetry, and I started reading Sharon Olds’ The Unswept Room just before Christmas when I was waiting in the airport Christmas Eve to pick up Tyson, Jen and Logan. Reading the first poems, I decided that they were simply too depressing to read during the Christmas season for they describe a dysfunctional, abusive family and the effect that family has on the poem’s narrator. Of course, the simple fact that I found them disturbing enough that I wanted to put them off to a later time seems positive to me. The early poems are in the tradition of Sexton, Plath, and Howe, and unfortunately those are tough poets to follow. While Olds does stake out her own territory, a middle ground where the parents seem more dysfunctional than abusive, there is little that is truly new here and the poems lack the vivid imagery that sets Sexton’s poems apart. Still, as Thomas F. Dillingham notes , “To her admirers, Olds is a poet of direct physicality and painful honesty, depicting aspects of family life and of personal relationships that have rarely been described in such intimate or graphic terms.” I’m just not sure that I belong among her admirers. My favorite poems are found in the middle of the book where Olds’ narrator begins to discover that, given the right circumstances, it is possible to overcome the effects of a dysfunctional childhood. One of my favorite, perhaps because it reminds me of some of my own feelings for my first-born daughter is:

52. Galway Kinnell And Sharon Olds MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2003. GALWAY KINNELL sharon olds. Alley Theater, 615 Texas Avenue. 730 pm. IN THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD judges http://www.inprint-inc.org/kinnell.olds.htm

M ONDAY, N OVEMBER 10, 2003 GALWAY KINNELL SHARON OLDS Alley Theater, 615 Texas Avenue 7:30 pm IN THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD judges’ citation for his Selected Poems, Galway Kinnell was called “America’s preeminent visionary,” with work in 12 collections that “greets each new age with rapture and abundance. . . [and] sets him at the table with his mentors: Rilke, Whitman, and Frost.” His books, which span five decades, include The Book of Nightmares, Body Rags, and A New Selected Poems , which was a National Book Award finalist, as well as translations of Villon and Rilke. He is also the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize (for his Selected Poems ) and a MacArthur Fellowship. Kinnell teaches at New York University, where he is Erich Maria Remarque Professor of Creative Writing. SHARON OLD’S POETRY, says Michael Ondaatje, is “pure fire in the hands,” and David Leavitt in the Voice Literary Supplement describes her work as “remarkable for its candor, its eroticism, and its power to move.”

I THINK EMILY DICKINSON WOULD HAVE BEEN POLITICAL TODAY by Sharon Olds Thank you very much. Partly in deference to the age in which Emily lived, and partly in deference to the climate of the room, I'm beginning my reading in gloves. Now I'm here, no I arrivethere. I think she's such an astonishing poet, such an astonishing being, that she wrote at all and that she wrote so brilliantly. That there was at that time and place a great poet is always powerfully moving to me. I especially love her rhythm. We'll all be saying what we love best, and what we feel most connected to. And since one of the things in poetry that's the strongest for me is rhythm, that was one of the things I first responded to in Emily Dickinson. I envy Seas, whereon He rides - I envy Spokes of Wheels Of Chariots, that Him convey - I envy Crooked Hills That gaze upon His journey - How easy All can see What is forbidden utterly As Heaven - unto me! I envy Nests of Sparrows - That dot His distant Eaves - The wealthy fly, upon His Pane - The happy - happy Leaves - That just abroad His Window Have Summer's leave to play - The Ear Rings of Pizarro Could not obtain for me - I envy Light - that Wakes Him - And Bells - that boldly ring To tell Him it is Noon, abroad -

I THINK EMILY DICKINSON WOULD HAVE BEEN POLITICAL TODAY by Sharon Olds Page 2 I connect with her as a passionate woman. As an obsessed woman. I love her images also. My hand shakes today in special honor of emily, but it always shakes whenever I read poems. It's a little fear and a lot of excitement. This one was always curious to me. My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun - In Corners - till a Day The Owner passed - identified - And carried Me away - And now We roam in Sovreign Woods - And now We hunt the Doe - And every time I speak for Him - The Mountains straight reply - And do I smile, such cordial light Upon the Valley glow - It is as a Vesuvian face Had let its pleasure through - And when at Night - Our good Day done - I guard My Master's Head - 'Tis better than the Eider-Duck's Deep Pillow - to have shared - To foe of His - I'm deadly foe - None stir the second time - On whom I lay a Yellow Eye - Or an emphatic Thumb - Though I than He - may longer live He longer must - than I - For I have but the power to kill, Without - the power to die - (JP 754) previous page next page about the author table of contents ... search the archives Last updated on March 10, 2000

homepage colofon index dichters inzendingen ... contact Sharon Olds Sex zonder liefde Hoe doen ze het, zij die de liefde bedrijven zonder liefde? Mooi als dansers? glijden ze over elkaar als kunstrijders over het ijs? vingers vastgehaakt in elkanders lichamen, gezichten rood als biefstuk, wijn, nat als de pas geboren baby's die door hun moeders zullen worden weggegeven. Hoe komen ze tot komen tot komen tot God komen tot de stille waters en houden niet van diegene die meekwam, licht dat langzaam opstijgt als stoom van hun samengesmolten huid? Zij zijn de ware religieuzen, de puristen, de profs, degenen die een valse Messias niet zullen accepteren, houden van de priester in plaats van God. Ze verwarren de minnaar of minnares niet met hun eigen plezier, ze zijn als eerste klas hardlopers: ze weten dat ze alleen zijn met het wegdek, de kou, de wind, het goed zitten van hun schoenen, de gesteldheid van hun hart en bloedvaten - gewoonweg feiten, zoals de partner in bed, en niet de waarheid, want dat is het enkelvoudige lichaam, alleen op de wereld
