Dear Editor,
I just wanted to praise Sharon Olds and more specifically her work on the poem "Rite of Passage".
Sharon is candid in the way she speaks. Brings a lot of emotion to a person or situation that may not normally be looked at al emotional. While a person may read the poem and think that the boys mental behavior is disturbing and violent...it's clearly a mother watching her son...being a boy!
This poem also shows an innocence that once gone, a person will never get back. A mother captured it in this moment.
Although her writing is more currant than that of Shakespeare, I feel as though she has made a tremendous impact of english literature so far, and will continue to do so.
Thank you.
