What makes this a refreshingly worthwhile (and often engrossing) collection is how the self, diminished by loss, survives the journey into her lines. With enough distance, the losses of separation have become clear; and as she burns her ex’s easel in the family hearth in “The Easel,” not only do we get a hint at what happened (“I am burning his left-behind craft,/ he who was the first to turn/ our family, naked, into art”), but we get a reassurance that, for Olds, “craft” is no match for fire" (Brodeur).

Here is the moment he told her ("his navel, and the cindery lichen / skin between the male breasts"), the last time they slept together ("he put his palm / on my back, between the shoulder blades"), the telling of her mother ("I bought her / a doughnut and a hairnet"), pain and shock and yearning hunkered down into everyday objects, into washing machines, clocks, clothes. "There is an expression – the devil is in the detail," she says. "I think the earth is in the detail. I am quite myopic. I wear glasses. I am not good at big abstracts. I focus on things up close to me. Some poets have better imaginations than I have. They write about ideas that come out of experience, not ordinary life itself" (Durrant).
