Moses Brown School will host its annual poetry series featuring award-winning writer and educator Sharon Olds. 

Regarded as one of the greatest living poets, her numerous honors include a National Endowment for the Arts grant; a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship; the San Francisco Poetry Center Award; the Lamont Poetry Selection; the National Book Critics’ Circle Award; and the TS Eliot prize. Her distinguished style of poetry has been described as a “celebration of a power stronger than political oppression.”
