“A breezy, inviting collection of love poems that celebrates the
divine as much as it does the natural world or human relationships . .
. An eloquent celebration of simple joy from one of America’s most
beloved poets.” —The Washington Post “Oliver’s poems are
thoroughly convincing—as genuine, moving, and implausible as the
first caressing breeze of spring.” —New York Times Book Review
Mary Oliver, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, celebrates love in this
collection of poems "If I have any secret stash of poems, anywhere, it
might be about love, not anger," Mary Oliver once said in an
interview. Finally, in her stunning new collection, Felicity, we can
immerse ourselves in Oliver’s love poems. Here, great happiness
abounds. Our most delicate chronicler of physical landscape, Oliver
has described her work as loving the world. With Felicity she examines
what it means to love another person. She opens our eyes again to the
territory within our own hearts; to the wild and to the quiet. In
these poems, she describes—with joy—the strangeness and wonder of
human connection. As in Blue Horses, Dog Songs, and A Thousand
Mornings, with Felicity Oliver honors love, life, and beauty.
