Author Biography Mary Oliver(1935-2019), winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, is one of the most celebrated and best-selling poets in America. She wrote over 30 volumes of poetry and prose, including Blue Iris, Owls and Other Fantasies, Why I Wake Early, two volumes of New and Selected Poems, and Devotions, as well as two essay collections, Long Life and Upstream. Review It has always seemed, across her 15 books of poetry, five of prose and several essays and chapbooks, that Mary Oliver might leave us at any minute. Even a 1984 Pulitzer Prize couldnt pin her to the ground. Shed change quietly into a heron or a bear and fly or walk on forever. —Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times"Olivers 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"Marys 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"Olivers poems are thoroughly convincing—as genuine, moving, and implausible as the first caressing breeze of spring." —New York Times Book Review Long Description Mary Oliver has been writing poetry for nearly five decades, and in that time she has become Americas foremost poetic voice on our experience of the physical world.
