The Wellspring
The Wellspring: Poems | Sharon Olds
6 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
Sharon Olds's dazzling new collection is a sequence of poems that reaches into the very wellspring of life. The poems take us back to the womb, and from there on to childhood, to a searing sexual awakening, to the shock of childbirth, to the wonder and humor of parenthood--and, finally, to the depths of adult love. Always bold, musical, honest, these poems plunge us into the essence of experience. This is a highly charged, beautifully organized collection from one of the finest poets writing today. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Random selection at the library; I'm enjoying it so far. Surprised to see the old date due stamp slip; the book is stamped April 6, 1996 (copyright 1995, published 1996). Incredible, thick, ridged paper: they don't make them like they used to.

I've loved Sharon Olds's poetry for most of my life. Some of her work resonates more than others, but this collection had such a narrow yet varied perspective, it was intense. I'll definitely revisit.
