Description
In One Secret Thing, her ninth collection, Sharon olds completes her cycle of family poems.
The collection in its entirety is intense and harmonic, moving from minor key to major to minor, and it is rich with a level of self-awareness and irony new in Old's work. One Secret Thing is a double portrait, of a child and a difficult parent. As the book unfolds, the portrait of the mother goes through a moving revisioning. -- adapted from back cover description.
