Royce Hall, UCLA: Mary Oliver (February 25 at 20:00)
Mary Oliver.
Oliver, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, is firmly established in the highest realm of American poets. She is renowned for her evocative and precise imagery, connecting us with the natural world and transforming our everyday surroundings into a place of magic and discovery. She gives ... (more)few interviews and her rare public appearances sell out in record time. Alternating poems of humor with ones showcasing bittersweet truths and honest emotions, Oliver’s readings leave those lucky enough to witness them awed and inspired.

Author Disambiguation

How many authors?

Mary Oliver is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.

This entry includes…

Combine with…

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but some well-meaning but deplorably uninformed person keeps combining them! Can I take a name off the combination list?

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am said person and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.

Q: What if the disambiguation notice is wrong?

A: Go ahead and edit it.
