        This collection of poems is the best example of showcasing just how vast and exciting the world of poetry can be. 
Sharon Olds was a fresh find for me. I didn't know her, and I didn't have to try to like or understand her. I just easily got sucked into her world and her words by reading the first poem of this collection, Indictment of Senior Officers from her book Satan Says.
It's bold, exciting and innovative. It's just impossible for me to not like a book that its concept is "writing and saying exactly the things that you should not be saying". She just doesn't hold back from exploring themes such as motherhood, sexuality, marriage and the relations inside a family. She hits you with her witty words and smart prose.
The best way to kickstart my 2024 reading journey.
