Within these pages Mary Oliver collects twenty-six of her poems
about the birds that have been such an important part of her
life-hawks, hummingbirds, and herons; kingfishers, catbirds, and
crows; swans, swallows and, of course, the snowy owl, among a dozen
others-including ten poems that have never before been collected.
She adds two beautifully crafted essays, "Owls," selected for the
Best American Essays series, and "Bird," a new essay that will
surely take its place among the classics of the genre.
In the words of the poet Stanley Kunitz, "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."
For anyone who values poetry and essays, for anyone who cares about
birds, "Owls and Other Fantasies" will be a treasured gift; for
those who love both, it will be essential reading.
