Olds is the recipient of the 2016 Wallace Stevens Award. Her numerous other honors include a National Endowment for the Arts grant and a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship.   Olds grew up in San Francisco, the daughter of an abusive, alcoholic father and a weak, compliant mother; her anger at her parents would influence her poetry.Her poetry has been anthologized in more than a hundred collections. Her poems honor the dead encompass both family members and victims of political violence; those addressed to the living continue to examine the life of the body. Olds has published eight volumes of poetry.  Her first collection, Satan Says (1980), received the inaugural San Francisco Poetry Center Award. The poems explore intensely personal themes with unflinching physicality, enacting what Alicia Ostriker describes as an "erotics of family love and pain."
