At her sharpest, she creates startlingly surreal images....[However, f]or a writer whose best poems evince strong powers of observation, Olds spends too much time taking her own emotional temperature....Everything must return to the poet--her needs, her wants, her disappointments with the world and the people around her."Olds, Sharon is the author of 'Blood, Tin, Straw', published 1999 under ISBN 9780375707353 and ISBN 0375707352.
