INTRODUCTION Sharon Olds is known for poetry in which she uses an intensely personal voice to explore themes of domestic violence, sexuality, and family relationships. In much of her verse, she examines her roles as daughter and mother, rendering painfully ambivalent memories of her parents in unsentimental, brutally honest, and often sexually explicit language. In addition to exploring family life, Olds expresses sorrow and outrage for victims of war and political violence. Many critics have noted that her focus on both domestic and public abuse evinces the universal scope of her poetic vision. Biographical Information Olds was born in San Francisco, California, in 1942. She completed her undergraduate degree at Stanford University in 1964 and received a Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1972. From 1976 until 1980, Olds was a lecturer-in-residence on poetry at the Theodor Herzl Institute and has subsequently held numerous teaching and lecturing posts at various universities and writing conferences. Olds has also served as the director of the Creative Writing Program at New York University and has been involved in the administration of the NYU workshop program for the physically disabled.

Sharon Olds Akoot - Famous Writers o Home o Poetry Board o PoeticQ.com - Famous Writers Gallery o PoeticSpace.com - MySpace For Poets... Picture Brief Bio Born in San Francisco in 1942, Sharon Olds was educated at Stanford University and Columbia University, where she earned her doctorate in 1972. Shortly after moving to New York, she heard poet Muriel Rukeyser at a reading in 1967 and fell in love with her "musical and fluid" voice. She then took a poetry appreciation class with Rukeyser. However it wasn't until 1972, after being awarded her Ph.D., that she started to write her own poetry. She recalls, "I remember leaving my alma mater and making a vow as I walked down the steps, which, because of my early training, I thought was a vow to Satan, 'I will give up everything I've learned if I can just write my own poems.' And then I realized it wasn't Satan, it wasn't God, it was myself I was talking to. And the next day I wrote poems." Her first book of poems, Satan Says, was published in 1980, when she was thirty-seven. Her poems examine a diverse range of topics from sexual passion and giving birth to an alcoholic father and nursing a child through a high fever. She is renowned for her vivid language and unambiguous imagery. Although her poems are personal in nature, she adamantly insists on a separation between her life and her work. She explains, "Having written what I like to call 'apparently personal' poetry, it's left me with a kind of double desire-one is to protect people, the other is to protect poems and poetry."

Length : Text-only version Prev Index Next Your comments on this poem to attach to the end [ microfaq juan@ The Connoisseuse of Slugs When I was a connoisseuse of slugs I would part the ivy leaves, and look for the naked jelly of those gold bodies, translucent strangers glistening along the stones, slowly, their gelatinous bodies at my mercy. Made mostly of water, they would shrivel to nothing if they were sprinkled with salt, but I was not interested in that. What I liked was to draw aside the ivy, breathe the odor of the wall, and stand there in silence until the slug forgot I was there and sent its antennae up out of its head, the glimmering umber horns rising like telescopes, until finally the sensitive knobs would pop out the ends, delicate and intimate. Years later, when I first saw a naked man, I gasped with pleasure to see that quiet mystery reenacted, the slow elegant being coming out of hiding and gleaming in the dark air, eager and so trusting you could weep. Sharon Olds This is one of my favorite "love" poems. I like the mystery and sense of discovery, "delicate and intimate", with not a note of eroticism or lubriciousness. The emphasis lies in the sense of surprise and wonder at the end, on the delicious naivete of the narrative voice. And what a trope! It reminds me of the eloquent conceits of the Metaphysical poets, especially John Donne. (cf. "The Flea", which is another love poem that might itself be appropriate this week!). Juan.

Slaying Daddy: Subverting the Filial Elegy in Sharon Olds’s The Father Anna Woodford University of Newcastle upon Tyne FIRST RESPONSE Open Article in .pdf format The definite article in the title of Sharon Olds’s The Father TF ) alludes to a cultural and historical archetype. Gertrude Stein, writing in the late 1930s, makes the point wittily and lethally: There is too much fathering going on just now and there is no doubt about it fathers are depressing. Everybody nowadays is a father, there is father Mussolini and father Hitler and father Roosevelt and father Stalin and father Lewis and father Blum and father Franco is just commencing now and there are ever so many more ready to be one. Contemporary elegists have used the death of ‘The’ father to examine the patriarchal role. Elizabeth Butler Cullingford defines Plath’s “Daddy” as ‘God, devil, fascist, leader, father, husband (we may add traditional Freudian psychoanalyst, although she [Plath] did not)’ Filial elegies have expressed personal and political anxieties and described disenchantment with the family romance. They have broken the silence of oppressive childhoods and highlighted and created divisions in the family unit, threatening the unity of wider society.
