First published in 1980, the classic poetry of Sharon Olds’ Satan Says was introduced into college courses twenty years ago, and still maintains a wide usage today. Few first books have the power or vigor of design of Satan Says. Marilyn Hacker described it as “a daring and elegant first book. This is a poetry which affirms and redeems the art.”
The poems are constructed with craft and care; the volatility of childhood seemingly is tempered with controlled retrospection and craft. . . . Olds's voice is original. It is even savage at times, but always controlled. Recommended for all colleges and libraries." - Choice "Sharon Olds's poetry has the intensity and power to move the reader, whether her subject be personal family life or political events." -American Poetry Review "This is a powerful and impressive first book." -Booklist "Olds' voice is consistently intense. In one poem after another, the spareness and bluntness of the language emphasize the violent sensuality of the images." -Home Planet News
