Mary Oliver

Evidence

Evidence

BY MARY OLIVER
Evidence is a collection of forty-seven poems on all of Mary Oliver's classic themes. She writes perceptively about grief and mortality, love and nature, and the spiritual sustenance she draws from their gifts. Ever grateful for the bounty that is offered to us daily by the natural world, Oliver is attentive to the mysteries it imparts. The arresting beauty she finds in rivers and stones, willows and field corn, the mockingbird's "embellishments" or the last hours of darkness permeates her poems.

New And Selected Poems, Volume 2

New And Selected Poems, Volume 2

BY MARY OLIVER
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 the physical world. This collection presents forty-two new poems-an entire volume in itself-along with works chosen by Oliver from six of the books she has published since New and Selected Poems, Volume One. "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

New And Selected Poems, Volume 1

New And Selected Poems, Volume 1

BY MARY OLIVER
When New and Selected Poems, Volume One was originally published in 1992, Mary Oliver was awarded the National Book Award. In the fourteen years since its initial appearance it has become one of the best-selling volumes of poetry in the country. This collection features thirty poems published only in this volume as well as selections from the poet's first eight books. Mary Oliver's perceptive, brilliantly crafted poems about the natural landscape and the fundamental questions of life and death have won high praise from critics and readers alike. "Do you love this world?" she interrupts a poem about peonies to ask the reader. "Do you cherish your humble and silky life?"

Red Bird

Red Bird

BY MARY OLIVER
A collection of 61 new poems, including a cycle of eleven linked love poems. The pages overflow with her keen observation of the natural world and her gratitude for its gifts, but the poet's attention turns with ferocity to the degradation of the Earth and the denigration of the peoples of theworld by those who love power. Red Bird is unquestionably Mary Oliver's most wideranging volume.

Swan

Swan

Poems And Prose Poems

BY MARY OLIVER
"Joy is not made to be a crumb," writes Mary Oliver, and certainly joy abounds in her new book of poetry and prose poems. Swan, her twentieth volume, shows us that, though we may be "made out of the dust of stars," we are of the world she captures here so vividly: the acorn that hides within it an entire tree; the wings of the swan like the stretching light of the river; the frogs singing in the shallows; the mockingbird dancing in air. Swan is Oliver's tribute to "the mortal way" of desiring and living in the world, to which the poet is renowned for having always been "totally loyal."
