Description: New. 0807068969 From Publishers Weekly Consoling, and intense interaction with the natural world abounds in the 43 poems of Pulitzer Prize– winner Oliver's new collection, as her many readers might expect.

Those who do not share her brand of faith may or may not ... read more

"I joined a new book club last month and at our next meeting we'll be discussing poetry. Otherwise, I never would have picked this book up. However, I really enjoyed it. All of the poems are earthy and spiritual and quite lovely."
"What can I say? Mary Oliver is my favorite poet ever. She is incredible. I am amazed by her control and her ability to express things with such crystal clarity. This collection was, if anything, even more lovely than her previous work."
"This collection of poems is great to take on trips and pick up with you have 10 minutes. Just sink into the words. It allows you to think of your life, mediate on Oliver's words and bring the two together. It's beautiful all the way through. And a great book to quote if you want to sound smart."
"One of my new favorite poets. Mary Oliver describes the natural world in an amazing way, and in this book strikes a great balance between the abstractness of faith and the particularities of nature."
