Publicity, Reviews, and Praise

At Blackwater Pond, by Mary Oliver (Audio, April 2006, $19.95, 0-8070-0700-5)

• Washington Post Book World, April 16th
  "The CD is housed in an elegant little cloth-bound book. . .Oliver reads 40 poems, all about nature and its wonderful creatures, in a sweet, neat, compact voice. 'The ear bone,' she says in "Bone," 'is the portion that lasts longest/in any of us. . . .' This little collection, resonant with her voice, is a tribute to it."
  
• Publishers Weekly, review, April 3rd
  "In clear, crisp studio sound, Oliver's voice comes across insistent and calming. Released just in time for National Poetry Month, this CD makes a good introduction or companion to Oliver's accessible work and an inviting gateway to poetry for newcomers."
