Book Reviews of Blood, Tin, Straw: Poems
Book Review: Is everyone else reading the same book?
Summary: 3 Stars
Sharon Olds, unflinchingly, has written the same poem over and over again and called it a book. It's one thing to write with the same topic in mind, but each poem seems like an exact duplicate from the one that precedes it, never giving any new insight.
The language is often strong, but the New Republic put it best:
"Sharon Olds's poems are certainly everything that testimony should be: sincere, resounding, unambiguous, consolatory. But just as certainly they are not art."
