Sharon Olds at Media Lab love her or hate her SHARON OLDS READING Works by Sharon Olds and Galway Kinell. Bartos Theatre, Wiesner Building. Thursday, October 18, 7:30. By NIC KELMAN POETRY AT THE MEDIA LAB has been running successfully now for three years under the apparently competent guidance of Uri Wilensky himself a poet about to be published and the evening with Sharon Olds was the second in the current series. It was, according to Wilensky, the most difficult in his three years to arrange, as her poetry has been referred to as "seeing description as a means to candor," "having no subject off limits," and having "shattered pious conventions for poetry." Olds herself said last night that she initially felt "poetry was something one should do absolutely by oneself" but that now she feels it is something to be shared . . . in general. She currently has three books to her name, all collections of her poetry and all published since 1980, and is about to have her fourth published. The format of the poetry series is such that each visiting poet reads first from their favorite poet(s) and thus allows the audience to gain greater insight into the poet and his or her poetic influences, a system which is both commendable and successful. Thus Sharon Olds started with readings from one of her favorite poet's books

Main April 30, 2004 Sharon Olds High School Senior (from The Wellspring) For seventeen years, her breath in the house at night, puff, puff, like summer cumulus above her bed, and her scalp smelling of apricots this being who had formed within me, squatted like a bright tree-frog in the dark, like an eohippus she had come out of history slowly, through me, into the daylight, I had the daily sight of her, like food or air she was there, like a mother. I say "college," but I feel as if I cannot tell the difference between her leaving for college and our parting foreverI try to see this house without her, without her pure depth of feeling, without her creek-brown hair, her daedal hands with their tapered fingers, her pupils dark as the mourning cloak's wing, but I can't. Seventeen years ago, in this room, she moved inside me, I looked at the river, I could not imagine my life with her. I gazed across the street, and saw, in the icy winter sun, a column of steam rush up away from the earth. There are creatures whose children float away at birth, and those who throat-feed their young

Festival Home Scheduled Events Archives Contact Us Sharon Olds' poetry has been widely praised for its courage, emotional power, and sheer physicality. Michael Ondaatje writes that her poems are "pure fire in the hands – risky, on the verge of failing, and in the end leaping up." Her latest poetry collection, The Unswept Room , was nominated for the 2002 National Book Award in the poetry category. Olds came to poetry somewhat late in life; her first book was published when she was thirty-seven. Raised in Berkeley, California, (in her own words, as a "hellfire Calvinist") Olds graduated from Stanford University, then went east to earn her doctorate at Columbia University. Feeling that she still needed to find her own poetic voice, Olds entered into a seven-year writing apprenticeship with Muriel Rukeyser, a process that culminated in the publication of Satan Says in 1980. Her career was on its way. Since that time her poetry has gone on to win several awards, including a San Francisco Poetry Center Award, National Book Critics Circle Award, the Lamont Poetry Selection of the Academy of American Poets, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Academy of American Poets. Olds is Professor of English at New York University and acting director of the university's graduate program in creative writing.
