About this product

Product Information

From the Pulitzer Prize and T.S. Eliot Prize for Poetry winner comes a beautifully realized collection of poems about childhood, love, marriage, children, and honoring the dead. Larry Lewis say, "The Dead and the Living is an unignorable book, something truly rare. The feeling behind it is painful, but exquisitely so. Pain made into art or what, in another time, people called 'beauty.'" It is an achievement of a poet writing in the full measure of her powers. The Lamont poetry selection of the Academy of American Poets.

  • One of our greatest poets

    Sharon Olds' poetry is some of the most intense literature I know. She is technically accomplished and extremely expressive. She deals with the most challenging emotional material in our lives, in a completely convincing and satisfying matter. Not easy reading, but deeply satisfying.
