no andaba bien en mí. Yo hacía muecas
que ella no había visto en ningún otro chico
de la familia, nadie en toda la familia”[...]

Discovered Sharon Olds today. Life is, as always, profoundly beautiful, marbled with emotions and hard, as the bite of a seatbelt on a bumpy country drive. #SharonOlds #Poetry

Photo of a book with blue and purple cover propped up on the sheet music stand of a piano. There is a plant next to it in a pot in the shape of a girl's or woman's head and torso. The female figure is smiling contently, while the plant looks like wild ideas sprouting from her head.

My author's copy of new 'Handbook of #AmericanPoetry' with my essay on "Poetry as #FeministCritique" (focused on the 1970s/80s) in which I read #SharonOlds, #AudreLorde & #SusanHowe but also discuss other poets has arrived! It is very thick & pretty

The idea of a favorite poet is a bit absurd to me, but if I had one, it would be Olds. From Arias: bookshop.org/a/862/978152...

Pulling a few goodies from that other site (not to be named) and came across this gem from Mendocino Writers Conf in 2019! #sharonolds

A week after our child was born,
you cornered me in the spare room
and we sank down on the bed.
You kissed me and kissed me, my milk undid its
burning slip-knot through my nipples,
soaking my shirt. All week I had smelled of milk,
fresh milk, sour. I began to throb:
my sex had been torn easily as cloth by the
crown of her head, I'd been cut with a knife and
sewn, the stitches pulling at my skin-
and the first time you're broken, you don't know
you'll be healed again, better than before.
I lay in fear and blood and milk
while you kissed and kissed me, your lips hot and swollen
as a teen-age boy's, your sex dry and big,
all of you so tender, you hung over me,
over the nest of the stitches, over the
splitting and tearing, with the patience of someone who
finds a wounded animal in the woods
and stays with it, not leaving its side
until it is whole, until it can run again.
