Spring
In this section of the book, Olds talks about her divorce
and how she is slowly moving past the sadness and moving on with her life. She also
talks about her miscarriage and how it affected her. She thinks about what they
would look like and if they would look like her husband or not. You can tell
that this is a very sore subject but not as sore as other things that have happened
in her life.
The poem that I would like to look at is “Not Quiet Enough” I
think that although she is somewhat overcoming the divorce and moving on, she
still feels like it was partially her fault and that she was not good enough
for him. Hence the title of the poem.
Although I am not as interested in this poem as others in
this section, I wanted to write about it because it shows that she is beginning
to move on and realize that in order to be happy again, she needs to understand
that it was his choice and not her fault.
