Strikingly redesigned to accompany the publication of New and
Selected Poems, Volume Two
Praise for the poetry of Mary Oliver:
"One of the astonishing aspects of Oliver's work is the consistency
of tone over this long period. What changes is an increased focus
on nature and an increased precision with language that has made
her one of our very best poets . . . There is no complaint in Ms.
Oliver's poetry, no whining, but neither is there the sense that
life is in any way easy . . . These poems sustain us rather than
divert us. Although few poets have fewer human beings in their
poems than Mary Oliver, it is ironic that few poets also go so far
to help us forward."
--Stephen Dobyns, New York Times Book Review
"Mary Oliver's 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
"One would have to reach back perhaps to [John] Clare or
[Christopher] Smart to safely cite a parallel to Oliver's lyricism
or radical purification and her unappeasable mania for signs and
wonders."
--David Barber, Poetry
"I have always thought of poems as my companions--and like
companions, they accompany you wherever the journey (or the
afternoon) might lead . . . My most recent companion has been Mary
Oliver's The Leaf and the Cloud . . . It's a brilliant meditation,
a walk through the natural world with one of our preeminent
contemporary poets."
--Rita Dove, Washington Post
