Wow. I never thought of Sharon Olds as being particularly political, but check out her letter to Barbara Bush, declining an invitation to attend the National Book Festival.
I'm likewise a little surprised -- I've never had any inkling that Sharon Olds would go near anything remotely political (in the sense we're talking about here), but a good letter. It especially ends well.

WOW! What an amazing letter. I am so proud of her!
That last paragraph is so powerful. I applaud her.

In the letter it's as if she set up a beautiful meal herself on a linen tablecloth -- then pulled that cloth out from under it.
Yep. Good for her. Thanks for pointing this out.
