Sharon Olds has provided a gateway for some others to express themselves. In this work, Stag's Leap, she has given completely raw and true information. Her marriage became a miscarried child for they did not treat it the way they should have. Sharon realizes that it was not all her fault that her husband left her. She knows that there is a bit of both of them in this marriage and it just so happens that he just wasn't completely in it.
I tink that it was interesting for her to title the work Stag's Leap because of their favorite wine. It is a beautiful metaphor. In Christian metaphors, the wine can represent blood which can signify the hurt she experienced through this marriage. They shared the wine, so it connects them, but at the same time, wine can be—what's the word? Exhausted. It won't last forever. Someone get's the last drink. She never had the opportunity to realize that her glass was empty and there was no more in the bottle.
It was over, and there's no money to bring it back.
It's all over. She became someone new, and someone out of love.
