Satan Says by Sharon Olds
4.0
This is a bloodthirsty and grotesquely honest poetry book about life as a child, a woman, and a mother. Full of rage, locked-in, locked out, all of it. And it's Olds' FIRST book!
Read this book if you like the Kristin Chang quote, "Godhood is just like girlhood: a begging to be believed."
And ESPECIALLY read this book if you like the Bobbie Burstow quote, "Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They will exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not as bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother's fate."
