I love all her work but I think this is my favorite. It reminds me of Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek distilled into poetry. If you love poetry, this is a “must read.” If you are not sure, try it—it might convince you to try more poetry. ( )

Praise for Owls and Other Fantasies:

“Mary Oliver is beautiful and accurate in this book of poetry and prose about birds…all rendered with the precision of a line-drawing of a single feather that puts the entire wing into perspective.” —Orion

Praise for Mary Oliver’s poetry:

“These are life enhancing and redemptive poems that coax the sublime from the subliminal.” —Sally Connolly, Poetry

“Mary Oliver’s poems are natural growths out of a loam of perception and feeling, and instinctive skill with language makes them seem effortless. Reading them is a sensual delight.” —May Swenson
