Mary Oliver has been writing poetry for nearly five decades, and in that time she has become America's foremost poetic voice on our experience of and interaction with our physical surroundings. New and Selected Poems, Volume Two includes new poems on birds, toads, flowers, insects, bodies of water, and the extraordinary experience of the everyday in our lives. In the words of Alicia Ostriker, "Mary Oliver moves by instinct, faith, and determination. She is among our finest poets, and still growing." In both the older and new poems, Mary Oliver is a poet at the height of her control of image and language.
Industry Reviews
Oliver's poetry is of the Earth, and about the Earth, and as these poems give voice to the planet, they render human life more beautiful, more sentient, more meaningful. --Karen McCarthy, ForeWord
These are life-enhancing and redemptive poems that coax the sublime from the subliminal. --Sally Connolly, Poetry
Mary's Oliver poetry is fine and deep; it reads like a blessing. Her special gift is to connect us with our sources in the natural world, its beauties and terrors and mysteries and consolations. --Stanley Kunitz
Oliver's poems are thoroughly convincing--as genuine, moving, and implausible as the first caressing breeze of spring. --New York Times Book Review
