It is not a soapbox for a central commentator, but home to a bevy of A-list contributors weighing in on the political situation in the US. Co-founded by syndicated columnist and one-time candidate for governor of California Arianna Huffington, the blog is a heavy dose of news and opinion - the commentaries coming from top names in journalism, politics and even Hollywood. Left-leaning, it does occasionally give up space for the right as well. It may be the antithesis of the blog that gives power to the powerless, but its rich content and star authors attract plenty of eyeballs.

Michael Ondaatje has called Sharon Olds’s poetry “pure fire in the hands” and cheered the “roughness and humor and brag and tenderness and completion in her work as she carries the reader through rooms of passion and loss.” This rich selection exhibits those qualities in poem after poem, reflecting, moreover, an exciting experimentation with rhythm and language and a movement toward an embrace beyond the personal. Subjects are revisited–the pain of childhood, adolescent sexual stirrings, the fulfillment of marriage, the wonder of children–but each recasting penetrates ever more deeply.
