One Secret Thing

Autor Sharon Olds
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2009
Completing the author's cycle of family poems, this book is at once intense and harmonic, playful with language, and rich with self-awareness and sense of irony. The opening poem, with its sequence of fearsome images of war, serves as a prelude to poems of home in which humour, anger, and compassion sing together with lyric energy.

Recenzii

"A memorable collection" -- M Wynn Thomas The Guardian "Sharon Olds's poems are pure fire in the hands - risky, on the verge of falling, and in the end leaping up. I love the roughness and humour and brag and tenderness and completion in her work as she carries the reader through rooms of passion and loss" -- Michael Ondaatje "As devastatingly accurate in its depiction of our deepest wishes and secret inner lives as we have come to expect from this brilliant and fearless poet" -- Joyce Carol Oates Times Literary Supplement, Books of the Year "Her best work exhibits a lyrical acuity which is both purifying and redemptive. She sees description as a means to catharsis, and the result is impossible to forget... Sharon Olds is enormously self-aware; her poetry is remarkable for its candour, its eroticism, and its power to move" -- David Leavitt "She has written without embarassment or apology, with remarkable passion and savagery and nerve, poems about family and family pathology, early erotic fascination and sexual life inside marriage" -- Amy Hempel
