Sharon Olds goes where many poets would fear to tread and others not dream of treading. Like a curious child, she wanders past No Entry signs on to private land... Arias is a phenomenal achievement, the most moving collection of her career, the most open of books. -- Kate Kellaway * Observer, *Poetry Book of the Month* * On my Christmas list? Sharon Olds's Arias. Olds is a supreme poet of the body; I'll be reading her till I die. -- Fiona Benson * Guardian, *Books of the Year* * A generous collection... sexy, pained, conversational, always bringing the reader along for the ride. -- Tristram Fane Saunders * Telegraph *
