Quan Barry and Sharon Olds

Quan Barry’s latest collection of poetry is Loose Strife, and her new novel is We Ride Upon Sticks. “Her poems strike a rare balance between a private and public world,” wrote Eavan Boland. “It is the deliberate privacy of language—beautiful, challenging, unswerving—which secures for these poems their haunting poignance.” Sharon Olds’ new book of poems is Arias. “She offers gripping, vivid songs that urgently capture the preciousness of what there remains on Earth to defend, and all that has been lost,” wrote Maya Popa. “In these complex, nourishing poems, the stakes are clear: if we are on Earth, we ought to be singing.”
