Once in a while I dip into a little poetry. I recently read something that referenced Sharon Olds, so I decided to give her first book of poetry a try. In this volume, Olds focuses on her roles as a daughter, lover, and mother. She writes very intimately about her and their bodies, bodily functions, desire, need, and yearning. I have to admit that it's not my favorite genre to read, and this didn't sway me very much. But I believe that I'm an outlier here; I think prose just speaks to me more.
