Description: Sharon Olds
This is Sharon Olds's only appearance in the UK outside the Southeast and Edinburgh.
The woman many regard as America’s greatest living poet, according to a recent Guardian interview, Sharon Olds was born in 1942 and lives in New York. From her very first collection in 1980 up to her most recent ninth book One Secret Thing (2009), she’s been astonishing readers all around the world with her bold investigations into love, sexuality and death. Impeccable poems: exhilarating and deeply sustaining.
Sharon Olds’ poetry is pure fire in the hands.
Michael Ondaatje
