Description
Sharon Olds' Odes is a powerful and intimate collection of poetry that explores the female body and its pleasures. The poems are centred around the author's own experiences, using the traditional form to address themes of love, loss and self-discovery. Olds' use of language is startlingly fresh and profound, shaping her world in ways that are both searing and charming. From the joys and sorrows of girlhood to the recent deaths of those dearest to her, she examines her life with a wisdom and grace that makes this collection universal and relatable. With poems like 'Ode to My Sister' and 'Sheffield Mountain Ode', Olds offers an intimate self-examination that is both deeply personal and universally human.
