The Unswept Room by Sharon Olds
5.0
Masterful, powerful, and something I've never seen in poetry before.
I made the "mistake" of reading Stag's Leap first. That meant I came to this volume knowing what was to come for the narrator, and that meant a lot of tears. The ache these poems leave in my heart makes me want to keep reading them until it heals.
