Strike Sparks: Selected Poems, 1980-2002

A powerful collection from one of our most gifted and widely read poetsâ€“117 of her finest poems drawn from her seven published volumes.

Michael Ondaatje has called Sharon Oldsâ€™s poetry â€œpure fire in the handsâ€ and cheered the â€œroughness and humor and brag and tenderness and completion in her work as she carries the reader through rooms of passion and loss.â€ This rich selection exhibits those qualities in poem after poem, reflecting, moreover, an exciting experimentation with rhythm and language and a movement toward an embrace beyond the personal. Subjects are revisitedâ€“the pain of childhood, adolescent sexual stirrings, the fulfillment of marriage, the wonder of childrenâ€“but each recasting penetrates ever more deeply, enriched by new perceptions and conceits.

Strike Sparks is a testament to this remarkable poetâ€™s continuing and amazing growth.
