The Unswept Room: Poems.
New York: Knopf, 2002. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight unread copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. This collection of poems provides a startling energy of language and counterpoint, and a moving, elegiac tone shot through with humor. From poems that erupt out of history and childhood to those that embody the nurturing of a new generation of children and the transformative power of marital love, Olds takes risks, writing boldly of physical, emotional, and spiritual sensations that are seldom the stuff of poetry. These are poems that strike for the heart, as Sharon Olds captures our imagination with unexpected wordplay, sprung rhythms, and the disquieting revelations of ordinary life. Item #26255
