Widely regarded as the "rock star" of American poetry, Mary Oliver is
a writer whose words have long had the power to move countless
readers. Regularly topping the national poetry best-seller list and
drawing thousands to her sold-out readings across the coutnry, Oliver
is unparalleled in her impact. As noted in the Los Angeles Times, so
many "go to her for solace, regeneration and inspiration" that it is
not surprising Vice President Joe Biden chose to read one of her poems
during the 9/11 remembrance at Ground Zero. Few poets express the
complexities of human experience as skillfully as Mary Oliver. This
volume, Oliver's twenty-first book of poetry, contains all new poems
on her classic themes. Here, readers will find the deep spiritual
sustenance that imbues her writing on nature, love, mortality, and
grief. As always, Oliver is an accomplished guide to the rarest and
most exquisite insights of the natural world. Ranking "among the
finest poets the English language has ever produced," according to the
Weekly Standard, Oliver offers us lyrics of great depth and beauty
that continue her lifelong work of loving the world.
