520    A powerful collection from one of our most gifted and 
       widely read poets- 117 of her finest poems drawn from her 
       seven published volumes. Michael Ondaatje has called 
       Sharon Olds' s poetry " pure fire in the hands" and 
       cheered the " roughness and humor and brag and tenderness 
       and completion in her work as she carries the reader 
       through rooms of passion and loss." 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 revisited- the pain of childhood, 
       adolescent sexual stirrings, the fulfillment of marriage, 
       the wonder of children- but each recasting penetrates ever
       more deeply, enriched by new perceptions and conceits. 
       "Strike Sparks "is a testament to this remarkable poet' s 
       continuing and amazing growth.
