A wonderful poem. Olds is brave and smart. Hope for more real poetry like this.

i agree with the crap assessment of Sharon Olds. i mean, come on she's written these poems all before. you're not looking hard enough for poems if you think Olds in the dabomb.

Very sweet piece, at times I thought it was to self conscious, at others quite remote, evokes a certain sense of calm wisdom and an ambivalence toward sex that I actually find quite refreshing. Don't know her work, but I'd like to read more.

Ms. Olds carrying on about her sex life and, oh yes, her father--now there's something new. Stale and squishy imagery, show-me-on-the-doll confession. No more, please.

Sharon Olds is the only poet I can read these days. Actually, she's the only poet worth reading these days. 99.9% of all the poetry out there is just...crap. But not Sharon Olds. She's the un-crap.

Shades of Emily Dickinson! (Because I could not stop for Death/he kindly stopped for me.) Like it. Invites rereading and reflection. Sexy, too. But more.

Read it, felt it, lived it, owned it. Weeped. Thanks.

It's about time. Nerve and Sharon Olds are a perfect match--no one writes about love (both physical and metaphysical, and especially where the two meet) like she does, with such bare honesty & smiling eloquence--and I'd been wondering when the two of you would get together.
