21. Salon: Sharon Olds
    An interview with olds from the archives of Salonmagazine.com.  
    http://www.salonmagazine.com/weekly/interview960701.html
    
    Extractions: Illustration by Charlie Powell D omesticity, death, erotic love the stark simplicity of Sharon Olds' subjects, and of her plain-spoken language, can sometimes make her seem like the brooding Earth Mother of American poetry. ("I have learned to get pleasure," Olds wrote in her last book, "from speaking of pain.") In photographs she tends to look somewhat dark and remote, too; there's a sense of brewing drama. She seems a natural heir to such melancholy talents as Ann Sexton and Sylvia Plath. It's a happy surprise, then, to discover that the 54-year-old Olds is anything but withdrawn and more-serious-than-thou. In fact, she comes across as a bundle of nervous energy, slightly neurotic, a bit like an intellectual Julie Haggerty. It's the end of the semester at New York University, where Olds has taught in the Graduate Creative Writing Program for the last 12 years, and the atmosphere outside her small office is chaotic. Olds herself arrives a few minutes late, looking slightly harried, and apologizes profusely while pulling two paper cups of tea from a brown bag one for herself, one for a visitor. It's hard to blame her for seeming a little breathless. In addition to her multiple duties at NYU, Olds runs the poetry workshop she founded in 1984 at New York's Goldwater Hospital for the severely disabled, and she reads at numerous speaking engagements. What's more, she claims to have such a backlog of poetry that when she does find the time to issue a new book such as "The Wellspring" (Knopf), published earlier this year it is generally made up of work written more than a decade earlier.

    Extractions: No one knows what poetry is. But each tribe has had it, there's never been a group without it, it's as necessary, as automatically there, as government or medicine. As a species, we seem to be in great need of imagining each other. Maybe imagining you is my first step toward respecting you, and figuring out what it's 0.K. for me to do to you and what it isn't. If I am, say, mugging you, I am not imagining being you! And that's why my theme as a representative of the hundreds of thousands of poets in New York State is outreachreaching out the tools of imagining others (and of embodying that imagining in its music) to those who haven't come to the world of poetryof emotional and civil consciousnesson their own.

    Extractions: About Sharon Olds Jacque Kahn S haron Olds was born in 1942 in San Francisco. She was, in her own words, raised as a "hellfire Calvinist." After graduating from Stanford she moved east to earn a Ph.D. in English from Columbia University. Olds describes the completion of her doctorate as a transitional moment in her life: standing on the steps of the library at Columbia University, she vowed to become a poet, even if it meant giving up everything she had learned. In one respect, Olds’s imaginary sacrifice of her graduate education was an essential precondition for her artistic development. As a graduate student Olds had struggled to emulate the poets she studied. The vow she madeto write her own poetry, no matter how bad it might befreed her to develop her own voice. Olds has published eight volumes of poetry. Her first collection, Satan Says (1980), received the inaugural San Francisco Poetry Center Award. Satan Says responds to what Olds describes as some of her early poetic questions: "Is there anything that shouldn’t or can’t be written about in a poem? What has never been written about in a poem?" Startling readers with candid language and explicit imagery, Satan Says trangresses socially imposed silences. The poems explore intensely personal themes with unflinching physicality, enacting what Alicia Ostriker describes as an "erotics of family love and pain."(28).

Olds is fascinated by the spell of sensuality and the subtleties of inheritance and ponders with forthrightness and vigor the forces that propel us through life—the sweep of sexual desire, the ache of love, the astonishment of birth, the net of motherhood, the horror of disease, the distortions of age, the certainty of death. As she has been in each of her previous precipice-pacing collections, including Blood, Tin, Straw (1999), Olds is exhilaratingly frank in her celebration of the erotic and in her ongoing analysis of her wounded life with abusive parents and bliss in marriage and parenthood. But here she adds a new dimension to her family saga by owning up to her WASP heritage and expressing shame and guilt over her culture’s prejudices. This gives rise to some stunningly visceral poems about suffering and death that are rendered as unsparingly and transcendently as the most explicit and demanding of religious paintings and charged with a fierce holiness. Olds, fiery, penetrating, and unnerving, uses words as kindling, so that “fear flamed into ecstasy,” anger is tempered into mercy, and redemption is found in a courageous openness to all of life. —
