NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A READ WITH JENNA PICK • From the
Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Mary Oliver, a definitive and enduring
collection of her best work “No matter where one starts reading,
Devotions offers much to love. . . . Perhaps more important, the
luminous writing provides respite from our crazy world and
demonstrates how mindfulness can define and transform a life, moment
by moment, poem by poem.”—The Washington Post Tell me, what is it
you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? —Mary Oliver,
from “The Summer Day” Throughout her celebrated career, Mary
Oliver touched countless readers with her brilliantly crafted verse,
expounding on her love for the physical world and the powerful bonds
between all living things. Arranged by Oliver herself shortly before
her death in 2019, Devotions features Oliver’s work from her very
first book of poetry, No Voyage and Other Poems, published in 1963 at
the age of twenty-eight, through her last, Felicity, published in
2015. This timeless volume showcases the beloved poet at her edifying
best. Within these pages, she provides us with an extraordinary and
invaluable collection of her passionate, perceptive, and
much-treasured observations of the natural world.
