Stag's Leap
By Sharon Olds
112 pages;
Knopf
Sooner or later, it
happens to all of us: The guy we love just...well...leaves. After her marriage of
26 years fell apart, Olds wrote a book of poems that reads like a novel, one in
which she learns to revel in the freedom of letting go and moving on, with
courage, grace and joy. Yet another reason to read: Stag’s Leap won this year’s
Pulitzer Prize.
