Yes, I went through the Sharon Olds book from the front until I found the first I posted, then I kept going, finally reading only the first two lines and it was Child Birth, Breastfeeding, Her Kids, Her Parents, Her Very, Very Heterosexual Sex, Abortion, and I finally gave up. And started at the end and this one was the last poem of the collection and I started reading upstream (from back to front and it was the same ugh-ness) so for me this is the Best of Sharon Olds.
Yeah, I definitely think she's referencing Lazarus here. It also made me think of that artist I posted about a while back [Joseph Cornell] with the found objects dioramas.
