A New York Times Bestseller, chosen as Oprah's 'Books That Help Me
Through' for Oprah's Book Club Chosen by Poetry Book Society as
their special commendation 'No matter where one starts reading,
Devotions offers much to love, from Oliver's exuberant dog poems to
selections from the Pulitzer Prize-winning American Primitive, and
Dream Work, one of her exceptional collections. Perhaps more
important, the luminous writing provides respite from our crazy
world and demonstrates how mindfulness can define and transform a
life, moment by moment, poem by poem' The Washington Post 'It's as
if the poet herself has sidled beside the reader and pointed us to
the poems she considers most worthy of deep consideration' Chicago
Tribune Throughout her celebrated career, Mary Oliver touched
countless readers with her brilliantly crafted verse, expounding on
her love for the physical world and the powerful bonds between all
living things. Devotions is a stunning, definitive and carefully
curated collection featuring work from over fifty years of writing
- from Oliver's very first book of poetry, No Voyage and Other
Poems, published in 1963 at the age of 28, through to her last
collection, Felicity, published in 2015. This timeless volume,
arranged by Oliver herself, showcases the beloved poet at her
edifying best. Within these pages, she provides us with an
extraordinary and invaluable collection of her passionate,
perceptive, and much-treasured observations of the natural world.
