The long-awaited new volume of poetry by Mary Oliver, winner of the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize
The forty-seven new works in this volume include poems on crickets, toads, trout lilies, black snakes, goldenrod, bears, greeting the morning, watching the deer, and, finally, lingering in happiness. Each poem is imbued with the extraordinary perceptions of a poet who considers the everyday in our lives and the natural world around us and finds a multitude of reasons to wake early.

Owls and Other Fantasies
:
“Mary Oliver is beautiful and accurate in this book of poetry and prose about birdsÖall rendered with the precision of a line-drawing of a single feather that puts the entire wing into perspective.” —
Orion

Poetry
