Pleasant poems about nature I have come to believe that 2023 will go down in my memory as The Year I Appreciated Poetry. [a:Mary Oliver|23988|Mary Oliver|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1634180145p2/23988.jpg]'s collection is the thing that cemented this designation. I am so lucky to have tumbled onto it. The editors made an interesting choice for a collection that spans the author's entire career by ordering it with the most recent poems first and working backward to her earliest. This was a wise choice because her later work is imbued with a subtlety and simplicity that some of her earlier work does not quite possess. Even before finishing this volume, I purchased [b:Blue Horses|20821239|Blue Horses|Mary Oliver|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1398032287l/20821239._SY75_.jpg|40167110]. I look forward to settling in with it over the holidays. no reviews | add a review
"Throughout her celebrated career, Mary Oliver has touched countless readers with her brilliantly crafted verse, expounding on her love for the physical world and the powerful bonds between all living things. Identified as "far and away, this country's best selling poet" by Dwight Garner, she now returns with a stunning and definitive collection of her writing from the last fifty years. Carefully curated, these 200 plus poems feature Oliver's work from her very first book of poetry, No Voyage and Other Poems, published in 1963 at the age of 28, through her most recent collection, Felicity, published in 2015."-- No library descriptions found. |
