Satan Says

This edition is a paperback (1980) of the original poetry collection. Marilyn Hacker described it as "a daring and elegant first book. This is a poetry which affirms and redeems the art." Ada Limón says the book is "Brave and brilliant," Camille T. Dungy says it's "So direct and honest and unflinching it never fails to take my breath away," and Jan Beatty says, "Satan Says is the single most earth-shattering book of my writing life."

A 45th anniversary release (2025) of Sharon Olds's Satan Says is available in a deluxe hardcover edition (ISBN 9780822948971) or ebook (ISBN 9780822992462).
