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.

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

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."
